The phone rings. The caller is Émilie Mongrain from Éditions de l’homme, the publishing house that has hired me in the past to copywrite the Kitchen Galerie cookbook among others. Émilie is a passionate editor, funny, driven and smart, the kind I don’t often meet; a girl that likes to laugh, referencing both Blue Beard (to scare copy out of you) and Proust (to make you feel worthy and appreciated), all in the same sentence. Yes, this post starts with a like-you note to my editor, because you don’t often hear about the generous, kindred spirits who drive you to —and beat you into— delivering the best book you have in you.
