Found this in my mailbox today. I met this writer a few years ago when I was speaking on panels at the Greater Los Angeles Writers Conference. Part of the fun involved meeting with writers individually to give free editing consultations, and he was one of them. Flash forward to NOW. He sent me his manuscript and I gave him written notes with editing suggestions for free instead of my usual initial consultation fee.
After much consideration, we decided not to pursue a working relationship; however, he kept insisting that he wanted to pay me for my notes. That's what this check is.
More valuable than anything is his note of appreciation.
A welcome Thanksgiving gift!
