  1. Don't forget that if you commission me for a developmental edit, you can get your book personally looked over by a ferret! Who else is offering that perk? No one!
    Don't forget that your first 5k is only $25!

  2. I was the copyeditor on this Norton Professional Books title, (published 3/28/23). I think it is a great reference text not only for clinicians who hope to run an RPG for their clients, but also for teachers and anyone else who'd like to use RPGs to bolster and support young people.

    Dr. Connell explains how tabletop RPGs can help preteens/teens learn to set boundaries, take risks, stand up for themselves, problem solve, and build communities.

  3. Many of my #memoir clients are journalists. Here's what I tell them: Don't write in newspaper style, but it is helpful to think like a journalist. What is the headline? What is the nut graf? Why should readers care? Identify newsworthiness, then themes will pop out. #amediting #bookeditor #writingcommunity

  4. Oh my gosh. I just ran a macro on a book manuscript to start creating my terms list of every proper noun in the book, and the time it took my new-ish computer (I blinked) was so fast that it made me literally LOL with joy. I didn't have time to get up and stroll to the kitchen for a snack, get the mail, etc.! #FTW #AmEditing #BookEditor #Publishing #ThisIsWhatAutomationIsForNOTWriting

  5. PSA: If you're a #writer hiring a book editor on a middleman site (like #Reedsy) also google to see if that editor has an indie business website, and then contract with them directly. You won't pay the +10% fee and neither will your editor.

  7. #TIL: There are glow-in-the-dark bubbles. File this knowledge under "you never know what you'll learn on any given day as an editor." It's one of the aspects that makes it fun, even after 20-plus years.

  11. I just got word that a VP at Hachette is looking at publishing one of my clients' books! I'm not saying that if I'm your editor, this is guaranteed to happen, but I do make my authors' books as flawless as possible! #amediting #bookeditor #writingcommunity

  12. Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you're a #writer hiring a book editor on Reedsy, also google to see if that editor has an indie business website, and contract with them directly. You won't pay the +10% fee.

    #Reedsy is fine, but the site dominates most searches because (I suspect) they can afford to pay to show up first. And middle entities make the most money for the least work, which rankles.

  13. My dance card is filling up, but I can take a couple more clients before the end of the year. If your manuscript is ready for an editor, or even just an evaluation, check out testimonials from previous clients and drop me a note! #amediting #bookeditor #writingcommunity #amwriting howardlovy.com/bookeditor/

  14. Help wanted:

    I’m looking for a developmental editor with a coaching orientation to work with on a non-fiction business book project.

    I need help around structure, reducing overwriting / cutting unnecessary explanation, and deciding what’s most useful / important. I struggle with confidence / imposter syndrome (and RSD) so an editor with a toolkit for helping writers keep going instead of giving in to confidence gremlins is ideal. Recos welcome.

  15. I'm taking on new author clients. I'm a book editor who specializes in #memoirs, #business, #technology, and other nonfiction. I bring thirty-five years of experience as a journalist to the table and a growing list of happy authors! #amediting, #bookeditor howardlovy.com/bookeditor/
