Working with a GREAT editor

Today, my editor Ray Sylvester complimented me immensely.

Here’s an editor that copy edited Nir Eyal’s book Indistractable. I’m gobsmacked.

Good editors try to get something new out of you. They note when you make what seems to be a throwaway comment or sentence, and ask more from that. They’re sensitive to the flow of words, paragraphs, and sections, and how it all comes together.

I think we’re close. I feel it in my bones.

I think he does too.
