I’ve got to give props to Bonnie Martin. She is editing my manuscript, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. She sent a funny email I thought I’d share:
Ukranian, Urdo, Hindi, Batterson…these are the languages I edit everyday.
Pastor Mark,
I got a job for the summer as an English Editor for the National Foreign Language Center at the University of Md. I edit the English of foreign translators (of not so common languages). What a relief when I get to “In a Pit” at the end of the day. Batterson language is the most enjoyable by far and the subject matter quite refreshing when you consider other subjects like:
“American and Ukrainian diplomats took on the Ukrainian prisoners in Iraq” or
“’Russians on the snow: The fate of a man on the front of a historic snow storm’ – a book by Panov, a fighter pilot” or
“Premiere of ‘Giaconda’ in the National Opera of Ukraine”or
“Ukrainian Scholars Have Resurrected the Way from Varangian to Greek” or
“Bollywood Stars and What do They Do”
I’m beginning to understand why authors give credits at the beginning of their books 
It’s definitely a team effort.
