If your plots are getting tangled and your characters are falling flat then your readers won't have a good time. A developmental edit will give you the tools you need to free your fantasy novel of inconsistencies and strengthen your writing style. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

In October, I will be running the Yorkshire Marathon and I will be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support while I train. 98% of Macmillan's funding comes from people like you who donate to campaigns just like this one. My fundraising goal is £450. www.justgiving.com/page/aimee-h...

Stonewall responds to today’s Supreme Court ruling. You can read the full judgement here: bit.ly/3ROPmMS

Stonewall shares the deep concern at the widespread implications for today’s ruling from the Supreme Court. It will be incredibly worrying for the trans community and all of us who support them.

It’s important to be reminded the Court strongly and clearly re-affirmed the Equality Act protects all trans people against discrimination, based on Gender Reassignment, and will continue to do so.

Once we read and fully digest the judgement, we will work with stakeholders across all sectors to provide as much clarity as possible.

Stonewall will continue its work with the Government and parliamentarians to achieve equal rights under the law for LGBTQ+ people.

I’m embracing my inner Stardew Valley. Carrots and beetroot are planted. Time to dig a fresh bed for the onions! Seriously, the early game toil with rusty tools and an energy bar that lasts three minutes is so real! #StardewValley #GardeningSeason

A wooden fence with concrete posts. The area at the base of the fence has been freshly dug, exposing dark soil, with some tools lying nearby on the grass.

Labyrinth by Kate Mosse uses POV and its massive cast creatively to position you in the most relevant moment in each scene. Is this something you should try? This review may contain some spoilers! Read my full book review here: www.ajeditorialservices.com/post/book-re... #WritingCommunity

I enjoy reading books that aren’t my typical taste to see why so many other people love them so much. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas is one of these. What can writers learn about genre and plot beats. Read my full book review here: buff.ly/YTO26ag #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I've been swept up in a reading frenzy for the past 5ish weeks which I love. But Labyrinth has near enough squashed my enthusiasm. It's just not for me! Got to find a palette cleanser. 💙📚

I don't normally buy hardbacks, let alone special editions. But look at this! It was the silver foil on white that won me over. 📚🪐💙

A hardback book without its dust jacket. It is white with a origami boat graphic embossed in foil in the centre. The edges are sprayed a shade of navy with the same boat image watermarked at the bottom.

The front cover of Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao. It is illustrated with a large full moon in the clouds seen from across a body of water. Poking threw the clouds is a ladder and a country style building. One the body of water, as it is a reflection, there is a city scape. In the foreground are three origami paper boats, in one stands a silhouetted figure.

Aimée Hill @aimeehill.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I'm going to be brave and buy the eBook of Water Moon instead of the Waterstones special edition hardback with foil endpapers and edges and the most stunning presentation box. 😭

How widely do you read? When I work on developmental editing with authors, I find it near impossible not to recommend books beyond the genre that they write. There is so much to learn from so many writers. Sticking to what you know feels limiting. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I'm trying to be more confident. I got the perfect change to practice. My neighbour complimented my knitting. I sincerely thanked her. The kneejerk "no really! I mean it!" she responded with was a double compliment on my confidence. Now to apply this to work! (PS I'm really fucking good at knitting)

Unbelievable that this is actually real! This is been a year of incredibly hard work, lots of learning and a bit of fun. Everyone who pre-ordered should be getting their copy soon. Everyone who hasn't ordered yet can do so here: asteriapress.com/shop

A book sits on a desk with flowers and arty things. The cover reads 'A Case of Dragons' and is whimsically illustrated with potions and plants and a dragon in the distance. In the background is an art print calender that you can buy on Holly's own website.
