I’m booking into the latter half of 2025 now. I’m so grateful to my clients who continue to trust me with their words! If you think you’ll need a dev or beta slot with me after May 15, let’s talk!
I’d love to see some paranormal or contemporary romance hit my inbox.

Immediately suspicious of all the New-Agey accounts suddenly telling women to give up hormonal contraception in favor of the rhythm method.
In a time when access to abortion is being threatened, anyone who tells you to rely only on the rhythm method is either an idiot or wants you to get pregnant

That Guardian article… 🤯
What is even copyright these days? Maybe we should go back to the days of minstrels and lyre players. At least then storytellers had a marginal chance of earning some level of income. I’m disgusted.

7,134,200 words & 125 editing rounds. A hug thank you to my clients. This past autumn, someone asked me how much I had published and I said two, but my dear friend piped up and said, “That’s the wrong question. Ask her how much she’s edited.” Well, here’s the answer and I’m grateful for every word.

I love it when my clients make me forget I’m editing and I tear up at the grand gesture. I’m first and foremost a romance reader who can’t believe I get to do this professionally

My Canadian peoples,
You see all the trash Americans are talking about their healthcare system today?
That's what the Conservatives want here in Canada. Healthcare for profit. And it's well under way.
Fight for your healthcare as if your life depends on it. It does.

I tend to DNF more trad than indies for many reasons, but primarily the current trends don’t align with my personal reading tastes.
I want dual POV, 1st or 3rd doesn’t matter. Instant DNF is 3rd present - I won’t edit it either because it makes me cringe so I’m the wrong editor for that client

Let's talk agents. Because a good agent is worth their weight in gold, and a bad agent is a wreck on a wreck of a toxic publisher situation.

As always, Zoe brings the helpful advice! My key takeaway - a career needs to pivot and be agile. Just cuz publishers are waning on a certain genre doesn’t mean an audience isn’t out there.
I never want to push self-publishing as an option if a writer isn't enthusiastic about it, but if you're a trad author and your genre just isn't being acquired anymore, I have some thoughts that might be helpful if you want to keep writing that and SP it. (histrom, whatever)

Is there a way to mute mention of a certain someone on our Apple News feed? I keep hitting 👎🏻 and it’s doing nothing. Asking for a friend that would be me.
