I've already taken a few of Louise Harnby's fantastic fiction editing courses, so it was a no-brainer to take another. I've just completed How to Line Edit for Suspense, and I'm looking forward to putting what I learned into practice.

One thing I love about #copyediting fiction is completing style sheets. They help me and the author keep consistency in that book and later books in a series. So it was lovely to receive this feedback from my #indieauthor #fantasyfiction clients. ☺️

At the end of 2023, I #proofread the fantastic #histfic/#fantasy novel, The Cyclone's Eye, for debut author T. J. Farlow. It's a compelling read, and I can't wait for the author to write the sequel! I was thrilled to receive this testimonial from him😊.

Today we remember all the trans people we've lost due to transphobic violence and harassment.

Transgender Day of Remembrance marks the day to think on members of the trans community who have died due to anti-transgender violence.

Make next year a better year. Help those around us.

There's some weird weird stuff in the news at the moment, from the Tories promising to kick woke out of science (as if science needs help from the Tories on getting facts straight) to political meltdown in the USA, and, well, today feels like a good day to post a trans flag 🏳️‍⚧️

A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising and running the CIEP conference #ciep2023. I learned so much, and it was a great opportunity to network with #edibuddies. All the speakers were amazing. Can't wait for #ciep2024 – and i have to go as I won a voucher in the raffle! 😊😍

My first session of #ciep2023 today is "Bridging the gap on neurodiversity". As the mother of a neurodivergent daughter, this is a subject close to my heart. 🥰
