Love this post. Congrats too- that’s a legit blessing to find someone who gets your writing and you as a writer. This was perfect timing for me to read this as well.

Initially I had a goal of finding an editor in 2025. This article made me realize trying to manufacture that dynamic would end up being something I’d spend (waste) a lot of time “working” to accomplish. And to what end? Like some kinda bad knockoff of The Bachelor - on the season finale of The Editor… Matt stood before for the last two contestants and just before he handed the winner the golden pen… 😆🤦‍♂️

Yeah, I’m just fine not going there. Sincere thanks for the reminder.

Hahahah! Camilo was one of many many many people that looked over my essays in the past 2 years. I suspect that someone will naturally form as a consistent sparring/writing buddy if you engage with the writer folk long enough 😉

I feel so happy about this union. I found my editor (Michael Dean) in a similar way!

Becky, let's hop on a call at some point to discuss all things book writing and publishing!

"Camilo is a smart, sharp, and sensible editor." Ditto! Can't wait to see the finished product with the two of you teaming up.

Thanks Rick! I suspect Camilo will be pulling more stories out of me 😂
