Liar & Spy: Galleys


I'm reading galleys of Liar & Spy. This is the first time I'm able to see the words of the story formatted the way they will appear in an actual book. For some reason, the new font changes the way I respond to the language.

I attach notes to the pages as I read through them, and then peel each note off as I put pencil to paper and make the actual changes I want (we use colored pencils. Everyone who comments on these pages - editor, copyeditor, author - has to use a different color. I am purple this time).

Above you see my discarded notes, stuck to my desk. And I'm only on page 19.

This shows that you are working really hard Rebecca! I just finished reading When You Reach Me, and it left me thinking.
