A short intro...I recently started a new chapter as a freelance editor after a 30+ year career writing, editing, and publishing in the private- and public-sectors. I've been on Bluesky since 2023, but this will be for all things editing. Happy to chat or help you with a nonfiction project.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

Day 7 #EditorsTeaClubCommunity Editing Philosophy...

I work with complex topics so my goal is to try and make things as clear and concise as possible while preserving the author's tone and voice. I don't rewrite something just because I would have said it differently.

A little message from our CEO and founder @andyhunter777.bsky.social ahead of Anti-Prime:
What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!

I work in the nonfiction world, but Eileen's advice on reducing copy editing fees is just as applicable there as in fiction. Looking forward to the next installment Eileen!

It's a little cruel that there is an 's' in 'lisp.'

AI can create convincing text, but it lacks the true writing process. In The Writing Resource, Sean Brenner discusses identifying the differences between human writing and GenAI output. zurl.co/W41U3

Discerning AI-Generated Text from Human Writing, Part 2 - Right Touch Editing
AI can generate text, but it can’t truly write. By spotting gaps in logic, tone, and thought, you can often tell human writing from GenAI output.

Your turn photographers and authors who aren't part of this class.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.
