Over in his sff.net newsgroup today, I offered Wil McCarthy congratulations on the rave review SFRevu gave his To Crush the Moon. He responded with this absolutely lovely compliment:
For those of you who don't know it, Deanna's biased, having copyedited the book. If you ever need a good copyeditor, be sure to ask for her by name; I've worked with at least a dozen over the past decade or so, and she's literally the only one I've ever trusted to make my text better instead of worse. In fact, I think I said as much in the acknowledgments.


Praise like that always means a lot to me.
