The weird serendipity of an alphabetical bookshelf.

The best way reach me is the contact form on website. DM/email is fine, too, but I will not read unsolicited manuscripts or open any email with unsolicited attachments.

I'm getting excited about #TexasBookFestival! Check out that 2025 Author List! texasbookfestival.org/2025-author-... (And to my New England friends, yes, this is Texas.)

Join me for this Austin Hadassah and IAC Austin annual event!
November 16, 2025 | 10:00am - 2:00pm

I will again be selling book-themed jewelry and other gifts, maybe some books, and I'll have a Little Free Jewish Library on hand!

I'll also be there to talk about writing and editing.

I know exactly what contributed to me feeling more restored last night. But Oura doesn’t have a tag for @bcdreyer.social!

Recently stepped out of my comfort zone to judge a book award—what an experience!

Weeks of diving into creative nonfiction & middle grade fiction taught me so much about storytelling & prose.

Always an honor to read such compelling stories.

Y’all means all, right?

If you’re celebrating Banned Book Week, I hope that means you're celebrating Jewish authors.

Every reader deserves to see themselves on the page and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. And every writer deserves to tell their story.

Are you working on a book? Have you always wanted to? Here’s the real real. ✨

There will never be a perfect time to get started. So you have to start before you’re ready.

I’m a freelance book editor now booking for January 2026. If you’d like some help getting ready, get in touch! 💻📖🖊️

Recognizing your limitations will make you a better writer.

Embracing our imperfections doesn't hold us back. It pushes us forward. It’s the difference between a rough draft & a refined masterpiece. It's true in writing & in life.

I'm excited to be attending ACES VCON25 next week!

Professional development is essential for editors, who need to be up-to-date on language usage, publishing trends, and more. That's why I've been to every ACES VCON.

You know how, when you're writing a book, you're so immersed in it you dream about it? Well, I also dream about your book when I'm editing it! Each one changes my life, so thank you! #AmEditing

Say what?!

Even in online content, you want to make sure your work is error-free. A copyeditor helps you do just that. And fact-checking is included in copyediting, helping you avoid embarrassing mishaps like this.

A reminder that we can’t learn if we’re only sitting on the sidelines, waiting for others to come along and teach us! Start doing what you want to do, and you’ll find the help you need as you need it.

Even the most accomplished writers produce imperfect drafts before refining their work. Try embracing the messy, imperfect beginnings of writing—a crucial part of the journey toward creating something exceptional.
