    1. As a longtime book editor who was among the zillions of in-house editors laid off between 1998-2010, this surprises me not at all. There’s usually one overworked managing editor who assigns out the work to a freelancer. The manuscript will not include the cover so it doesn’t get a thorough edit. Just a going-over by art & production, which are important jobs but they’re not editors. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    2. A werepenguin is one of the more dangerous lycanthropes if you live in a cold, wet area. I’d be less afraid of them in the desert, however.
