They say third time is the charm, right? Let's hope so, as my new website -- my third version since Use Words started in 2017 -- is now live!

Check it out at use-words.com and pass it on to friends who might be looking for an editor. I've got spaces this summer!

I'm very excited to see this book, Anand P. Vaidya's FUTURE OF THE FOREST: STRUGGLES OVER LAND AND LAW IN INDIA, which I had the pleasure of doing a development and manuscript edit for. Check it out at Cornell UP!
