Last Tuesday, we had a soft launch of Book Oven, opening the doors to some of the things we’ve been working on including Bite-Size Edits, a new way to get proofreading done.
But we have a bigger, more exciting vision than just proofreading. We want to transform publishing, or parts of it.
In any case, we had some wonderful feedback from many of you (mostly on Twitter), and I wanted to single out some of the comments that made us happiest:
@davidnygren: If writers are like suffering lepers, then the gang from @bookoven are Mother Teresas http://is.gd/22Puc
@EditMeThis: Optimistic & excited about @bookoven possibilities.
