copy editor

doggedly i filled out forms

sighing about another waste

of effort and time:  title, genre

number of pages, synopsis

sample of writing (3000-word max)

date for response – give her

30 days, at least

i pressed SUBMIT expecting to forget

i’d submitted by the time i heard

when half an hour later she emailed

“Interesting” and sent a proposal

a professional with contacts

is interested in my characters

several have been enthused in the past

but they were anonymous judges i had no way to follow up with

but this is someone I now have

a contract with, will work with

one-on-one

i am chin-high in correcting errors

in the manuscript again

i want to send her my best to do

these people i write about justice
