Hey MG & YA writers! I'm doing a session on revision for the @lkbfstorytellers.bsky.social conference in September, and I'd love to know: What revision notes are YOU getting most commonly or struggling with? What do you want to know from an editor now? AMA, as all is useful . . .

English writer Mary Wollstonecraft was born #OTD in 1759. Best known for her book, 𝘈 𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 (1792). It is a foundational text for feminism that argued for equal education and rights for women--challenging the notion of female inferiority. #literature #litsky #booksky

A split-image composition featuring two historical elements side by side. On the left is an oil portrait painting of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century British philosopher and advocate for women's rights. She is depicted as a young woman in her late 20s or early 30s with fair skin, rosy cheeks, and auburn hair tucked under a black cap. She wears a simple white muslin gown draped loosely across her shoulders and chest in a classical, flowing style. Her expression is calm and thoughtful, gazing to the left with soft brown eyes against a dark, shadowy background that gives the portrait a dramatic, introspective mood. On the right is a close-up photograph of the title page from the first edition of her seminal work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). The text is printed in elegant 18th-century typography with black ink on aged, slightly yellowed paper. The full title reads: "A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN: WITH STRICTURES ON POLITICAL AND MORAL SUBJECTS. By MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT." Below are publication details: "LONDON: PRINTED FOR J. JOHNSON, N° 72, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH YARD. 1792." The page has a classic book layout with centered lines, decorative rules, and subtle printer's ornaments. The overall image juxtaposes Wollstonecraft's portrait with the foundational feminist text she authored, symbolizing her enduring legacy in women's rights and Enlightenment thought.

The cover of a new hardback short story edition. Rich red background, darker at top and bottom, brighter in the middle. A gold outline of a sparrow-ish bird flies upwards at center left, with wings spread, trailing abstract gold curlicues from its tail feathers. Block letters at top read: Madeline MiIler Author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Song of Achilles. Block letters at bottom read Mestra, A Short Story.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.
