A packager? I thought that was the publisher's job.
Well, it "only" took nine months, but at least we know who the new "hand puppet" is. Thanks for the news DB.
I had this conversation with a friend today:
Friend: "Did you hear? Sara Angel's been appointed the new editor of Chatelaine."
Me: "Who?"
Friend: "Well, she used to go by Sara Borins."
Me: "Who?"
aaaaaand, it's over
