The short revision letters, I imagine, are nerve-wracking for the author, because they can either mean everything's fine or, more likely, the book needs so much work overall that it wasn't worth listing a lot of individual points. Yeesh.<br /><br />Good advice about the style sheet! I've got a few intentional oddities in my books, and kind of worried somebody would try to change them out of ignorance or stubbornness or something.Kristin Laughtinhttp://kristinlaughtin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-58415740676881747192011-11-10T14:04:38.363-05:002011-11-10T14:04:38.363-05:00Thank you.

When you suggest/request revisions from your authors, who long do they usually take to return them?

I always put revisions and line edits in the same round, so it's interesting to see them separated out (and explains why people always seem to be in edits. LOL).
