Also, she absolutely refused to accept that in the UK 'newsagent' is spelled as one word not two! Needless to say, I was not happy with many aspects of the WCP editing, and I know of other authors who left WCP because of this particular editor!

I...I've been very, very lucky with my editors.<br /><br />I don't often 'argue' about edits unless I feel strongly about something. If I majorly disagree about a change or comment, I'll add my own comment explaining my side of things. We're always able to come to an understanding!Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-59349423667016753882015-05-21T15:12:14.616-07:002015-05-21T15:12:14.616-07:00I just wanted to hug her!I just wanted to hug her!Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-5674184478671403042015-05-21T15:12:01.575-07:002015-05-21T15:12:01.575-07:00Thanks Ana.

One of the reasons I left my first publisher was an editor who wanted to change things in my story to Americanisms and American spelling. I had to argue the toss with her several times.

I think the Chicago Manual of Style would agree, but maybe they've updated.<br />Interesting behind the scenes peek, Debra.
