Henry Kisor on editors and being edited:
What’s That Pig Outdoors?: A Memoir of Deafness, my first book, first published away back in 1990, is being re-issued in a new and updated edition next August 1 by the University of Illinois Press.
Most of the manuscript was of course edited and set more or less in stone two decades ago, but the new, 38-page Epilogue I wrote for the second edition has yet to go under the editorial knife. That will happen during the next week or two.
Will the U. of I. editor accept my carefully crafted sentences, praising them for their shapeliness, or savagely rip apart the unholy mess I’ve dumped in his lap?
A lot of tender ego rides on the result.
I look forward to check out the reissue, but what we all really want to know is when the next Porcupine County mystery going to hit bookstores?
