Rarely Post on here but I'm in a really sticky financial situation, so if anyone needs an editor or knows someone who does: consider letting me know! Reblogs really appreciated.
Editing Commissions: Open! Are you writing a book? A paper for school? A fanfiction you are extremely attached to? Literally anything? I can edit that! My Credentials: I was an editorial assistant at a small press publisher for 3 years, and have been a freelancer for one! I also have: an MFA in poetry and a BA in history. I have edited: novels, poetry, memoirs, teaching guides, and memoirs. I have done: developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, proofreading, and more! Everything from helping a book become a book, rather than a scattered collection of notes, to a final glance to make sure nothing is spelled wrong. ESL: No problem! I've worked on several works in translation, and by ESL academics, helping bridge the gap between their knowledge and the language barrier. I am comfortable with: almost everything! Got erotica you're nervous to show your usual beta reader? I want to edit that. A novel with taboo topics with a laundry list of trigger warnings you're tired of explaining? I want to edit that. A children's book? I've done it before and can do it now. I want to edit that. Memoir you don't want to show anyone you know? I want to edit that. School paper you're insecure about? I want to edit that. Not comfortable with: picture books. Never done it, not sure how. If you really want to we can talk about something. Rates: Usually about 2 cents a word, $3-5 a page, and anywhere from $15-30 an hour. But: I will never late a stated rate stop us from working together! I'm posting this because I am in a precarious financial state right now, so I can't work for free at the moment, but I would rather let someone pay what they can than miss out entirely. Payment: On Venmo or Paypal. I am trans so the name on them is not what I go by. I prefer installment payments vs a lump sum, but anything's negotiable. So: Writing something? Need an editor? DM me! I'd love to help your work be the best it can be.

This is the best thing I’ve read all year. And maybe, if I convince enough people to read it, it will come back in print so I can own a copy. The synopsis is simple: a woman sends letters to her ex lover about her time in a city populated by anthropomorphic insects.
Cover of Tainaron: Mail from Another City by Leena Krohn TAINARON MAIL FROM ANOTHER CITY the first American book by LEENA KROHN, internationally acclaimed Finnish author. TAINARON consists of a series of letters-sent beyond the sea from a city of insects. TAINARON is a book of changes. It speaks of metamorphoses that test all of nature: from a flea to a star, from stone and grass to human. The same irresistible force that gives us birth, also kills us. Nominated for the prestigious Finlandia Prize, this is a perfect introduction to the work of a modern fabulist. $29.95

Logs into Bluesky:

Bluesky: writing erotica is immoral because it’s a form of exhibitionism you’re inflicting on people who can’t consent

I think part of why teens aren’t reading is bc the pendulum swung so hard towards ‘YA only until your brains are developed’ & they’re bored. I was a big reader as a teen bc my teachers kept handing me fucked up vintage sci fi, something Nice Progressive Book Types have implied was grooming actually

I never post on here but this is a novelty flavor alert that I can’t relegate to a 5 person discord server: if you see these: buy them immediately. I don’t even like corn puffs usually and I am saying this. Very Good Snack

I’m so glad I’m not an undergrad now because getting accused of using ai for the crimes of knowing words and being autistic would have made me completely check out of class, and it’s something I see professors blame students for on here Every Day

Hey. Some friends and I need some help. We are trying to track down the story that goes with this illustaration. Artist is Norman Saunders. Author is Hugh B. Cave. Story is The Sign of the Serpent. Pulp is All Detective Magazine. Can't find it in any archive? Do any of you have it?
Cover image of the last ever issue of All Detective Magazine. A guy in a snake costume (or a man who is also a snake? It is intentionally ambiguous) points his dagger-fangs at a busty blond woman who is chained to a golden dish that is held up by hands. Title says The Sign of the Serpent by Hugh B Cave)

The thing about Bluesky is it does seem to have that same ‘remember to make sure everything you say is in line with todays prevailing discourse opinion and we’re surveilling you if you don’t’ culture that 2018 Twitter did that actively made my life worse

Sucks that blocking is seen as a nuclear last resort here since my #1 reason for blocking people on social media is ‘said something I found mildly annoying when I had a headache’
