Note to beta-readers
Oct. 7th, 2006 04:05 amHeads-up for the people beta-reading Dolphin Dreams -- I expect to start the revision pass in a week or so, so comments whether detailed or just "it works"/"you need to cut about as much as an Italian publisher would" would be welcome in the next few days.
My editor said that it needs some polishing and trimming, but nothing more detailed than that, so there's nothing specifically ruled in/out by her comments (although I suspect she'd be unhappy if too much of the sex got chopped, as this is an *erotic* romance house:-). My feeling when I'd just finished the first draft was that I probably needed to trim it, but I wouldn't be able to see where until I'd had a break from it.
If you haven't had time to read/comment, don't worry; I know one or two people have had a bad attack of Real Life.
