Creative Nonfiction's "Watch Us Edit" Feature

From the Creative Nonfiction Magazine's newsletter ...

Our latest issue, "First Lede, Real Lead," has been garnering an excellent response from our readers; not only have we received a slew of emails saying as much, but the sheer number of online visitors has been astounding. It's great to see so many people getting involved and interacting, not only with the writing, but with each other.

So a big thank you to everyone who has commented thus far. The conversation surrounding Laurie Uttich's piece, "Crazy Talk," is engaging and insightful.

As promised, we continue to post essays online in a manner that pits the submitted form vs. the edited form. New this week is Carrie Seymour's "Reclamation," so keep the conversation going and join the discussion today.

Tell us: Did we ruin the essay? Did we make it better? Did we do anything at all?
