“Yeah, we’re sorry, we’ve just changed away from Chicago style, so you’ll have to redo all the endnote references. It’s mostly Jefferson Davis speeches anyway, but it does mean you’ll have to redo the index as well all over again.”
"There's about this chapter opening, where you compare yourself to Jesus on the cross. It doesn't have "it." I'm not sure what "it" is, but it just doesn't have it. Maybe try something else."
"You know how this is all told from your point of view, starting with your populist upbringing? I really think we should change it to the perspective of everyone who knew and hated you at Yale and Stanford. Try it out for a couple of chapters and send the revisions back to me."
"The chapter where you decry censorship by calling for the censorship of others reads too long...but also incomplete.
We're going need you to add more but cut the word count."
