In addition to the terrible anniversary for Jews all over the world, 10/7/26 marked 177 years since we lost Edgar Allan Poe. After reading “The Tell-Tale Heart” yesterday, today I’m watching this excellent PBS American Masters documentary “Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive.” pbs.org/video/edgar-...

What a long second day at #acesvcon26! Wonderful sessions led to a quick video game break, which led to a nap. Now it’s dinner and client work for me.

Good morning from #acesvcon26, everyone! Clients, I'll be a little slow to respond today. #Edibuddies, I might not interact as much as I normally do since I've got a client deadline.

I hope this message finds you well. I also hope this message finds you enjoying tea with the badger family in a cozy cottage in the old forest, and you're surrounded by books, laughter, and a mossy sense of wonder.

I'm really glad I got a chance, before the madness, ahem, refreshing spiritual pause of the High Holy Days, to register for ACES #VCON26. I've been to every single VCON, so I would have hated to miss this year! #amediting #freelanceediting #editing #bookediting #acesvcon26 #copyeditor

Jewish authors today face unprecedented challenges—rising antisemitism, event cancellations, shrinking publicity opportunities & shifting publishing priorities. On October 28, I’ll be attending the Jewish Authors’ Summit so I can better help my clients navigate this difficult climate.

Pew Research Center surveys and reports statistics and trends in reading and book sales. In their latest, they report that while ebooks and audiobooks have grown in popularity, Americans still read more print books than digital formats. Let’s face it: your Kindle doesn’t smell as nice as a book.
