From the absolutely stunning exhibit Anselm Kiefer: Becoming the Sea at the St Louis Art Museum, paired today by a 3D screening of Wim Wenders’s documentary. Some of these are site specific. If you are in St Louis or driving distance you should rush to see this. Closes January 25

Any freelance editors available that can be hired to help me chop 10k-15k out of a horror comedy novel? Got a *very* positive response from an agent but the length of the work is the issue (currently 110k on a horror/comedy, need to get closer to 90k-95k).
