This graphic has a dark purple background with subtle editorial marks as a subtle background pattern. The top displays a banner, "The Editor's Half Hour Podcast," with red neon details for the word "Half." Below the banner is a white circle with an image of Peter Sokolowski, who is a bald white male, wearing a white collared shirt and red tie with dictionaries behind him. To the right of the image is the text, “with Peter Sokolowski, Inside the new Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary,” in a horizontal teal banner. Below the banner, it includes the text: Episode 36 | December 1, 2025. In a red-outlined box with red quotation marks is the following quote: “The job is revision. The idea of a noun becoming a verb or a verb becoming a noun is happening a little faster now—like with the term ‘adulting.’ It’s used quite frequently, so now it’s in the dictionary.” In small text on the bottom left is the teal Pique company logo, which is a backward-facing pilcrow, and in white: piquepublishing.com/podcast. On the bottom right is the Instagram handle: @Editor_Half_Hour with a small white heart and thumbs up notification

I don’t know if there’s a word in the dictionary to describe the level of excitement I have for my interview with @petersokolowski.bsky.social!! He’s such a delightful person and I loved getting to know him! Y’all are in for a treat!

Yes, “y’all” is in the dictionary and so is “fangirl.”

Snip snip. ✂️ If you’ve seen Laura Poole’s LinkedIn posts (@laurapoole.bsky.social), you know what comes next—a wordy sentence gets a quick trim, and suddenly it’s sharper, cleaner, and more concise. If you're not following Laura, you're missing out! Her posts are brilliant!

Stay tuned!

Do you think editors are secretly judging your every typo? Think again!

On Friday, I will post the latest episode of The Editor’s Half Hour, featuring grammar guru Dave Nelsen @thegrammargeek.bsky.social! We chat about why *not* being your grandma’s grammar police is the new editorial vibe.

It's always awkward to promote a thing that you did, you don't want to come across like you're bragging. Still, I'm really proud of this interview I did for the amazing @nadiageageapupa.bsky.social's podcast. If you want to learn more about TTRPG editing, I think you'll get something from it.
