Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

@ecwpress.bsky.social has put out some absolutely incredible work this year—I am privileged to be counted among such fine writers. To further illustrate how small a world CanLit is, I am a friend and former coworker of Sam's, copyedited Suzan's book, and hired Elliott to sub. edit my next MS. :P

Right?? People figure out pretty quickly that they’re better off self-publishing and having full control. I really hope people don’t fall for it. But now we’ve all made them go viral. 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

"The Grimmer" by Naben Ruthnum (from @ecwpress.bsky.social) is a young adult supernatural thriller out September 26. It follows a heavy metal-obsessed brown kid in a small, white town who gets pulled into occult shenanigans. Stranger Things vibes, a creepy bookstore, math magic, the undead!

"The Grimmer" by Naben Ruthnum, a red novel with a cool and creepy flat graphic design, sits on a table next to a glass orb on a black wooden pedestal. Inside the orb is a raven sitting on a pile of black books. The bookshelf behind them is lit a vivid purple-ish blue.

Honestly, I am so disinterested in any kind of AI output, you wouldn't believe. There is more human made content in existence than I could ever watch or play or read.. And I don't know why I should spend MY precious time with things nobody loved or believed in enough to spend their own on.
