I'm lazy and selfish and have no interest in critiquing someone else's manuscript
SAME. Same same same same same.
and being a good writer doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good editor, or good at giving constructive criticism.
Oh Lord this is so true! I'm still trying to develop these skills myself, but... *gross sobbing*
I paid a professional editor to give "developmental feedback" on a novel manuscript.
This is such a good idea, and I'm leaning in this direction. I want to have a solid professional relationship with someone I'm compensating for their time and expertise, and I want them to be invested in my success. I may get in touch with you about this over the summer, if that's okay.
But also fucking like HOLY CRAP YOU HAVE A NOVEL MANUSCRIPT oh man it's a good time to be alive in this world. I am excite!!
