On another writing note, if you are ever writing a very wealthy character and need inspo, go to a ridiculously expensive furniture store and ask for their sourcebooks.

As a freelance editor, just wanted to share what I do with the #WritingCommunity! Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Text appears on a white background under a header that says "Powell Editorial." The text reads as follows
Here’s What I Do:
Beta Reading,
Sensitivity Reading,
Proofreading,
Line Editing,
Copy Editing, and
Developmental Editing
Here’s What I’m Looking For:
YA, Children’s, NA, and Adult Fiction and Poetry.
I’m a good fit for lyric styles, Gothic, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, Christian fiction and BIPOC voices!
I’m not a good fit for political fiction, erotica, and any materials promoting violence against another group.

According to my #StoryGraph, I read a lot of dark books lol, didn't realize that! What novels do you gravitate towards? #WritingCommunity

Shows a pie graph indicating the following moods: dark, challenging, emotional, informative, mysterious, lighthearted, tense, inspiring, adventurous, sad, reflective and funny. Funny, sad and inspiring are the three smallest sections on the graph while dark and emotional are the two largest sections.

The book I'm reading calls the Scooby Doo live-actions with Hayley Kiyoko old. They came out in 2009!!!! 2009!!! Am I ancient? Millenials and older arise! We cannot stand for this old-person slander! But I guess, it is a #YA novel, so what should I expect?

My local airport put in a short story dispenser. Sadly, it seems it's all out for today but this is a great idea and I love that the library thought of it. #libraries #WritingCommunity #airports
