been following your blog the last 2 weeks…you’re an interesting, enjoyable writer.

have always thought it’d be nice working with books…but editing…wow, I honestly didn’t know age didn’t matter as assumed some kind of vast experience was required for the job *apologies…am naive mah!*

but editing is not a job which gets advertised in the classifieds, is it? How does one get around sniffing for a potential job opportunity?

Amber, Dabido and etc who wonder:

There are some questions which I will not answer. This is a personal blog. I will not entertain questions that prive too deep into the work. If you write to me in a mail I’ll try to get back to you.

Thanks.

Minishorts – I feel left out – you didn’t answer my questions! (Okay, I forgot the question mark after first one! Maybe you thought it was a statement.)

I ask again:
1/ Do you only edit childrens novels or do you also edit other work?

2/ I take it you are further up the food chain than a slush pile reader too. Do you only get to read the work a slush pile editor has already approved? [Or does it work different in Malaysia]

If you deliberatly ignored my questions first time – then tell me … I am male, we don’t take hints well!
[Sorry to ask again - just curious!]

If being a troll will get some one a kiss, then so be it…

I pledge to troll this site for as long as i live, in sickness and in health, in poverty or wealth, till disconnection do us part…

Hmm..that’s what I heard too. About the degree not mattering. So with a journo degree, I should be able to do copywriting/editing too in Malaysia?

And English and Lit…:p Wah, very the text/thinking heavy.

The simple truth is, you (think you) are an editor because:

1) There’s absolutely no QC in Malaysia;

2) You can’t write. (And it pains me to see you try.)

I’m not sorry to burst your bubble.

In case you’re working out ways to get back at me, I started a sentence with “and”. Bring on the green, hack.

Just curious. What did you take at the tertiary level to be able to do your kind of work? Coz…I would really love to be in the field you’re in, no matter how shredded I may get. :p
