Kind Words for Pete
Monday, September 1st, 2008
This weekend, I received an invitiaton on LinkedIn to write a recommendation for Pete Dulin, co-editor of Present Magazine. The editorial staff there has been very generous and supportive of me in my development as a writer. I thought I’d post my testimonial about Pete here so I would have a record of it, but also because I’m pleased that he asked me to endorse him. Here’s what I wrote:
Too many editors are mere wordsmiths or style-conscious followers. Pete Dulin has a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the written word. He’s more concerned with story, rhythm and being sensitive to his writers’ abilities to tell what happened in their own voice. He’s encouraging at the same time as curious to help them discover their talents. I’ve personally benefited by working with him, but I’ve also enjoyed the experience.
