Somehow, we're almost halfway through 2025 already! I'm taking the time to reflect on some of the work I've done this year so far, including:
🔹Developmental editing
🔹Copy-editing
🔹Localisation
🔹Content creation
Still space in the diary for more projects this year, so get in touch!

#amediting 'Framing' was the second book I've worked on with Mikael, a really vital and relevant study in light of the current trends in communication and rhetoric.
This event tomorrow will be well worth attending:

I'm keen to work with more LGBTQ authors, particularly in non-fiction (memoirs, academic studies and more), to help raise the voices of our community.

Decided it was time for a spring clean of my website, so here it is with some fresh new colours and a carousel of book covers in the Work Portfolio section, which I hope will be more visually appealing than the increasingly unweildy text list!

#edibuddies, do you offer unsolicited writing tips to authors? Every so often, if I spot a recurring issue in the nuts and bolts of grammar and language usage, I'll point it out (in as friendly a manner as possible!), but often worry I'm overstepping the mark or appearing patronising! #amediting

They cite ‘never comes up with an unexpected idea’ as PLUS!! This explains so much about these people.

I like these Milan x Off White shirts but why are the players’ names in quotes. They are literally who they are, not someone pretending to be them.

Doing a search re: alternative terms for the outdated "Third World", I came across this interesting blog on why we should now avoid "developing countries"/"developing world" as well. Interested to hear how other #edibuddies & authors approach this

Time to stop referring to the “developing world”
The term “development” is frequently used to describe the process in which children mature and pick up skills in a sequential way. Using the same term to name countries can suggest some level of hiera...

Sadly appropriate for the times, this was a fascinating project to work on as copy-editor, not least because I lived in Italy for a few years and still (just about!) have a working knowledge of the language. As I join BlueSky, I'm hoping to see less of such speech in action!

Looking for a thought-provoking read? 'An Investigation of Hate Speech in Italian', edited by Cruschina & Gianollo, analyses #hatespeech from a #linguistic perspective. Most chapters in the volume address hate speech on #socialmedia.
