It's a shame I'll never own a Gothic mansion the neighborhood kids avoid because they think it's haunted 😔

My audition to join a writing group: I have twelve (12) unfinished projects (and that's just the Scrivener files), crippling anxiety about the future of the industry both as a writer and editor, and an immense fear of nobody caring once I finally release my work 🥰🥰

Authors that send their editors manuscripts with chapter headings and page numbers formatted in the doc are the GOATs. Makes it much easier to keep track of things

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production.

If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

Me last week: Man, I think being an editor is making me soft. I haven't DNFed a single book this year.

Me this week: Pay me to not DNF this fucking book

Here's some unsolicited book promo for DUCKETT & DYER: DICKS FOR HIRE - my #scifi #mystery #comedy novel about two friends who aren't detectives, but become detectives to figure out who's telling people they're detectives.

Available wherever terrible books are sold!

All good pieces of advice for new authors who are preparing to hire a professional editor for the first time
Writer and editor.

1) Word of mouth is incredibly powerful. If authors you respect were happy with their work, that's a green flag.

2) It's an editor's job to help make your story the best version of itself. To move it in line with your vision for it. Not to transform it into something else.
