#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 12: How do you "stress test" your work?

I have a gang of test readers. Then it goes to my editor of first resort—my agent (who used to be a Big Six editor before changing career)—for edits. Then it goes to my acquiring editors at the publishers (US and UK) who edit it. And so on. By the time it finally trickles into print I've been over it so many times I can't bear to see it again.
