As heard on The Writing Show
We spent about half of the hour and twenty-two mintues on editing and about half on book design, focusing on what the self-publishing author needs to know about those topics. In listening to the interview, I now know that I say “y’know” way too often. I’ll have to work on that. I also apparently can’t recall the difference between Flip Wilson and Lily Tomlin. But I digress. Overall, I think the interview went well and anyone who listens will learn something from it—if only what I sound like.
The above link includes a photo (I was in a good mood, as the picture was taken at my wedding—after I took off my jacket but before I ditched the tie; so, yes, that’s what passes for a smile); Paula is a lot better looking than I am, though.

Dick, what a wonderful beard! Makes you look very wise.
Looks can be deceiving.
And now that I've listed to a good deal of the MP3 file, I can say that even if you don't want to call yourself wise, Dick, you do explain quite well what it is editors do. I enjoyed the episode. Despite your claim to curmudgeonhood, I think your authors are in good hands.
Thanks, Katharine. Coming from you, that means a lot.
I want your autograph!!!
Superstar!
Congrats.
You look like a UNIX system administrator who's just heard about a new major security hole in Windows ;^)
Stuart,
You must know some unusual UNIX sysadmins if any of them look as old as I do. In my experience, they generally run screaming from the building before they turn thirty and are next seen panhandling on the sidewalk, muttering something about stupid users.
