Gratitude for My Colleagues Who Read My Drafts

We often hear about how great writers write multiple drafts, and get feedback from their editors, colleagues, friends, spouses, and others. Here I want to point out that far humbler writers, such as myself, benefit greatly from the same process as well: writing many drafts, and getting constructive criticism from colleagues and friends. I want to thank the colleagues/friends in my field who read my drafts and give me such helpful suggestions. It happens that right now two of my colleagues, one local and one not, are reading a draft of a chapter I am writing, and I thank them very much for it. Their input will make a difference; they help me to be a better writer. I wish for every writer such helpful colleagues and friends!
