@kate, @r-m-archer, @the-fledgling-artist, @selah-chelyah: thank you so much. I get nervous over the smallest things and it helped to know you guys had my back.

The bad news: the paper does not have a copyeditor and is not looking for one, and the hiring manager was Out. I was given to understand that he is usually Out.

What kind of self-respecting newspaper (and this is more than the paper; it’s a publishing company, albeit very small, but most of its business is the paper) simply doesn’t have a copy editor? It would be like a factory manager saying, “Welp, sales are down, better lay off the quality control folks; who needs those anyway?” I might try to convince the man of the multitude of good reasons for having a quality control person around, and then introduce my credentials at the psychological moment :p.  Somehow. I haven’t thought all the way through a strategy yet.

The hunt continues. . .
