The Egg and Feather Story
Jane Yolen’s beautiful rhyming story Child of Faerie, Child of Earth tells the story of a chance meeting between a human girl and a faerie boy.
They take turns showing each other their different worlds, becoming great friends in the process. When they realize they each belong in their own worlds, the girl gifts the boy with an egg, and he uses his fairy magic to draw a feather from it.
"I give you this that comes from that.”
That is my philosophy of editing: a supportive partnership built on both our gifts.
You give me that: something knowledgeable or beautiful, but perhaps unpolished or rough.
I give you this: questions, suggestions, edits, and more to add that last layer of polish or those extra facets to make your work truly sparkle. (Yes. I said sparkle. Deal with it.)"
