Indeed.  But I haven't had one of those since 1989, the last time 
I was a member of a real pubs group. Ever since, I've been a lone 
writer, a department unto myself. Occasional technical reviewers 
find themselves unable to refrain from straying into proofing, but 
it's mostly stylistic nit-picking that consumes my time in explaining 
why it's better to do it my way... 

What luxury for you if you have an actual copyeditor or even a 
proofreader. I'd kill to have those services.  :-) 
Just as there is no budget to hire a body, there's no budget to 
rent/contract the services.  Sigh.

All I want for Christmas is Geoff Hart on retainer.    :-D


Cheers,
