Think of it as translating. The house language at Egmont is
English but some of their writers are Danish or who knows
what else. Since the stories and scripts go to publishers
around the world, they have to be in good English (it's
easier for, say, the Brazilian publisher to find somebody
to translate a story from English to Portuguese than Danish
to Portuguese). That's where I come in. I've translated scripts
that were in Italian, Swedish, Danish, and even bad English.
If I can do a little plot-doctoring or joke improvement along
the way, so much the better, but it's not really emergency
surgery on turkeys. If Egmont got a turkey from somebody,
it would have been rejected in the first place.
