Читать книгу A Thin Place - Jack Peterson - Страница 3

A writer writes….a reader reads, but a proofreader actually has responsibilities. Without them, a professional writer’s life would be miserable, maybe even non-existent. Many readers would likely stopping short of completing what may or may not have been a good read simply because of a shoddy effort.

While researching and scripting A Thin Place, I had allies. The first was Saul Turteltaub. He not only encouraged me to write this story, he offered many suggestions once the project was underway. Then there was the lovely Deborah McCoy. Despite being one of the busiest people on the planet, she found time to lend a hand by proofing pages, most of the time late into the evening after an exhaustive day. The final test was Ms. Joan Schon’s responsibility. She proofread the proofreaders. Without my three allies, I am certain this novel would still be in the draft stage and not just days away from the second printing.

On a more personal note, I want to thank my daughter, Brittini Rae. Her tenacity and willingness to stand up to a very stubborn father when she believed she was right added an artistic polish to this endeavor that simply would not have been possible without her input.

To everyone above……I love you all!
