Excellent advice! I’m in edits right now on a manuscript and it’s my first time working with this particular editor. I learn something new every time I go through the process.
I love this!! And your process of receiving edits looks quite familiar. I know I have to start with a very cursory read of the letter and that it's going to leave me overwhelmed and breathless and I have to run away and not think about it for about 24 hours. Then I can come back, read it again, and it looks a little less daunting.
And thanks for coming over to the Smorgasbord with your excellent advice :D
That part about Nooks made me laugh :) You brought to mind the first edit letter I got for a book I co-wrote, probably 17 or 18 years ago. It was at least 30 pages long and I was devastated! But I have come to appreciate them and, like you, ride the emotional roller coaster that they bring. Can't wait to have this book in our store!

Well, as far as your synopsis on the editing process goes, 10/10 no notes. That first email is TERRIFYING.
A great read. Looking forward to your new book!
