Hack ‘n’ Slash: Editing Dreams and Editor Nightmares
Editing is a form of surgery: we may not want to go through with it, but we are almost certainly better off for it. But how do you learn this vital skill, and work collaboratively with others in the editing process? A panel of editors, writers, agents & publishers share their experiences.

Soooo, yes, I’m on a panel with professional type people then! Not at all nervous. Ohhhh no.
Elsewhen, I’ll be lurking at the Alchemy/Shadow Publishing
joint launch thingy – 10am on the Saturday – Alchemy’s launching Marion
Pitman’s collection Music in the Bone; Shadow’s launching Allen Ashley’s latest anthology Creeping Crawlers. It’ll be awesome, y’all should pop along.
Other than that, I’ll be fervently wishing I could manage
some sort of hive mind clone thing as there’s So! Many! Things! I want
to go see. All at the same time! Also, karaoke!
Oh, and, also, not forgetting that Alchemy Press and Fox Spirit Books are up for allll the awards this year. Well, most of them. Which they will win because my publishers are amazeballs.
