World-building should unfold through your characters’ eyes, revealed bit by bit. If you drop all the backstory up front with a faceless narrator, you kill the mystery. Keep readers curious and immersed so they turn the pages. #amediting #bookeditor

Gosh, the bibliography in this presentation is fantastic! Lots of great sources about using #AI in editing and AI vs. human editing. If you missed this session, check out the slides.

Quick tip: Overusing adverbs can weaken your writing. Instead of “She ran quickly,” try “She sprinted.” Stronger verbs = better storytelling.

After a couple of days off to holiday shop (and I'm still only halfway done, sob!), I'm back to work today. This meme came with the cover email for the manuscript. Quite honestly, I love projects like this!

Say your manuscript is a canoe. I won’t pull you the whole way then leave you stranded on an island. I’ll help you carve a paddle made just for your hands, just for your canoe, and you will go off, feeling a bit less at sea and steadier in your boat. #myprocess #bookeditor (2/3)

One story concept could have a thousand different interpretations under a thousand different pens. In today’s episode, I speak with my good friend, Nowreen Haque, about the role of derivative works in the broader literary dialogue.

I love this.
If you've been thinking about writing a novel, it's never too late to do it.
Lots of published authors started their writing career later in life.
If you don't try, you'll never know if it's possible. Life is too short not to pursue our dreams.

#Memoir writers: To immerse readers in the story, it’s essential to create scenes. Instead of writing, "I remember ..." which suggests a person recounting events long after they occurred, consider ways for readers to experience them alongside you. Engage all five senses. #amediting #bookeditor

How do you edit passages that are upsetting?
@tanyagold.bsky.social ask the author to flag scenes that are upsetting ahead of time so they're ready.
