Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

Good chaotic over here. How about you?

Okay. Time to start a fight with everyone. I will not be accepting questions.

(Edited: I know the quotation marks aren't facing right. I didn't have the option to fix it in the design site I used to make this disaster.)

Why Et Al.?

The ampersand is a logogram of the Latin phrase et alia (et al., in its abbreviated form), which means and others. From people to bounce ideas off of to moral supporters and coffee-getters, editors, designers, marketing gurus, beta readers, and cheerleaders, authors really do need an army of "others" to publish anything. Because every idea, story, manuscript, or piece of copy is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all editing experience. My goal at Et Al. Editing is to make yours shine and protect its unique voice. Ten years of varied experience in substantive editing and copyediting, a B.A. in English, a certificate in copyediting, and an understanding of storytelling and audience engagement make me an invaluable addition to your team.
