Libby Duncan Notes
Ave Maria was cut down from our team.
It was originally 130K words, cut to 104 words (first editors NY ones). Then we ran it through our Book Puma Program and cut the book down to 83K.

For example, pay attention to the note on Semi-colons. If it was simply in text, it might lost context. The audio really helps drive home the coaching and context.

So why do we have multiple versions of the audio for Ave Maria?

We re-edited multiple books of mine and our other authors. But I'm not afraid to get massively criticized on a shamingly public scale.

I want you to use these as a way to learn how we give feedback in a different way to allow authors to grow from the editing process.
