Today is the day. Finally committed all the edits on my next book, which means I am now looking for an editor.

After having given my book 2 pass throughs, it's time to give it to a fresh set of eyes. Looking for someone who does a mix of line editing and content editing, and is affordable.

Who I'm looking for: An editor who is knowledgeable about North American football. I like working with women and fellow queers. Won't mind establishing a good working relationship for future books.

About the book: This book is a sapphic sport romance with 51,343 words. It is book 1 of my new series about various individuals in a fictional football league that's primarily comprised of women and trans individuals. This book is centered on a 20-something US football player of Mexican descent who gets injured, which puts her in a identity crisis of sorts. She falls for her physical therapist who is a black woman in her late 20s/early-30s. The plot is about how my MC handles losing her dream job while falling in love.

If interested or if you've got questions, DM me or email me at [email protected]

So nice to "meet" some old and new CIEP members in Canada in a local group meeting. Delighted to see how the number of Canadian members has grown. They're a nice gang, wherever they are located, in Canada or elsewhere. #AmEditing #Edibuddies #Editing #EditorsOfMastodon #NicePeople

One of the most common errors I fix when editing is known as false attraction, a form of subject–verb disagreement

Here's an example of what I mean, in a recent (and well-written) article in The Atlantic: "Research into such conditions are grossly underfunded"

A post on why it happens and some of the forms it takes:

Editing is a human skill, one that by necessity needs an iterative process between humans. AI isn't capable of that to the degree needed to produce a quality result. A professional editor is worth their weight in gold, esp for those who want professional copy. #AmEditing #EditorsOfMastodon #Authors #Academic

Hello! My friend @JanetWordsmith and I are looking for Mastodon's editing community.

Kind and lovely (and happy) folks who raise an eyebrow at participles that dangle, commas that splice, verbs that don't align with subjects, (etc) while keeping the writer's voice.

Along with people, are there instances or hashtags to follow?

New on my blog: Can an #AI write and edit a novel?

I decided to embark on a little editorial collaboration with #GPT4, the latest version of AI company OpenAI's #ChatGPT chatbot, and I had a lot of fun with it!

I wrote this article after a writer I know tried to "self-edit" his work-- only to end up with 10K copies of a horribly messed-up book.

If you want to be a professional writer, you simply CANNOT "self-edit." Editing software (such as #Grammarly) helps, but even the best AI still can't match the skilled eye of an editor.

"Cheap" costs money in the end.

#Mac people, do you have a #LaserPrinter that also copies and works wirelessly with your Mac? Needs to be able to copy and print (not just print).

I'm leaning toward Brother, but would love to know some model numbers because there are so many out there. Help?
