Some folks believe that writing is a solitary profession. The writer sits in his/her little office, banging out the thoughts, coming up with the manuscript, and sending it off to the publisher, who does everything else, including sending royalty checks in huge amounts.
I recently discovered that writing can also be a team sport. As some of you know, I've been working on a study guide for one of those study materials sites. I started out as the lone writer, following the script. Soon it became apparent that I could use some guidance. I was extremely fortunate to pair up with Leigh Anne Chisholm, whom many of you know from this list, and from her published books and other study materials. I had previously worked with her, doing technical review for a study guide she was writing for Sybex. I want to say that as far as I'm concerned, this was manna from heaven. Leigh Anne is a wonderful partner. She is not only a talented writer, but provided excellent editorial advice. The result is, in my own opinion, an excellent paper, well organized, and I believe generally free of the kinds of errors that plague a number of the study guides out there. Teamwork? Oh yes. It is my paper, and my guide, and my words, but it is a far better piece of work because of Leigh Anne's participation in the process. If anyone out there is looking for a good author, or a good technical reviewer, or a good advisor, I believe you can't go wrong with Leigh Anne Chisholm. Thanks, Leigh Anne. Very much.
