    Celebrations, Sweater Weather and Pretty Pink Ribbons: An Ode to October at Xulon Press

    - By 

    I love the month of October.

Bottom line, we’re more talented than just humble comma-movers, more empathetic than red-pen wielding ice queens, and much more normal than the seemingly flawless, type-A perfectionist in the movies.  Want proof? Here’s a peek inside a day in the life of a Xulon Press editor: 8:42 a.m. I arrive 12 minutes late (I can’t figure out why for the life of me), lugging my laptop, which I took home the night before to finish reviewing a novel.…
