I'm sorry to say that I am the latest in a long line of authors and editors to be impersonated by a spam bot. If you receive an unsolicited email from me, especially one pitching my editorial services, it's not actually from me.

"Harrison is incredible at what he does. His Editorial Assessment was extremely thorough, tough and direct without being harsh. Most importantly, it was very insightful. Harrison's feedback completely reshaped my novel." ~Mike O. reedsy.com/harrison-dem...

As an editor, I operate under the principle that it's not enough to tell you what isn't working. You also need to know what is working, so you know what you're doing well. reedsy.com/harrison-dem...

I have never played a Grand Theft Auto game. But then, I don't play video games, so that should not be surprising.

From the newest review of my editorial services: "He’s a teacher and collaborator as well. His attention to detail is unparalleled, but what really sets him apart is his ability to see both the smallest choices on the page and the larger shape of a work." Thank you, Lauren!

Writers, how do you organize and store your work? Do you keep all your drafts? How do you backup your work? Do you use any special software to organize your writing?

Harrison Demchick @harrisondemchick.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

We are writers. But in many ways, it would also be fair to call us interpreters.

I'm grateful to receive reviews of my editorial services like this one: "Harrison is the best. I feel very lucky to have found him. I highly recommend his services to everyone, but ask that you please leave some availability for me." reedsy.com/harrison-dem...

Supporting local bookstores instead of ordering from corporate giants online is a great way to support not just your community, but authors in general. Ask your friendly neighborhood bookstore to stock books from authors you like. That's how fandoms are built.

Despite the solitary nature of reading, it's something that brings us closer to others. Communities form around beloved stories. Great authors change the way we see the world around us. And bookstores provide a place to centralize that community. www.axios.com/2026/07/03/b...

Fewer Americans are reading books, but the bookstore is still staging a comeback.

Finishing a first draft is an accomplishment all on its own. You can worry about perfecting it later. For now, just FINISH it.

As an editor, many of my clients have returned for a second or third project. I'm grateful and hope that says something about the quality of service I've provided.

There are many ways to set daily writing goals. Word count. Hours. Specific scenes. What's your approach?

McCowan describes how AI might fail to recognize that an author is deliberately using choppy, stilted sentences to show a character’s emotional distress. “AI sees those as errors. A human editor sees the intention.” extendedstudies.ucsd.edu/news-events/...

With over 130 reviews on Reedsy and counting, it's fair to say that my editorial services are well-vetted.

This is accurate. The first steps of writing a new story can be so invigorating, they fuel you through the more difficult later parts of the process.
