Soooooo part of this wonderful thing called being a writer and editor online is experimenting in front of all of you and seeing what holds value and what doesn’t.

(OK, sometimes it’s not super duper wonderful, but it is fun to keep trying new things.) One of my ongoing experiments is Ask an Editor…

And it hasn’t picked up much traction today, and I’m not quite sure why. 🤔

So, I want to open it up to EVERYONE and tweak the prompt just a little bit:

Share the first paragraph of an essay you’re working on. I’ll read it, share my first instincts, what questions I have and if I’d keep reading based on that all-important first graph.
