How do you identify harmful tropes while dev #editing? ✅ Read in the genre you're editing ✅ Read the canon ✅ Ask the author what tropes they've used and what they're trying to do ✅ Karen Yin's Conscious Style Guide ✅ Writing an Identity Not Your Own lists tropes by identity #ACESVCON26 #VCON26

"AI can never give a writer empathy." -Kory Stamper I feel this in my bones. From being a copyeditor for almost a decade, I can sense what a writer is trying to accomplish, what they are worried about, what they feel nervous about. #ACESVCON26 #VCON26

rip annie dillard

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

A theme of #ACESVCON26 sessions that I need to burn into my heart and soul: Editors are valuable even in an age of AI because we actually understand humans and their motivations. We're not just checking boxes. We're inferring truths, supporting humans with needs, and connecting ideas holistically.
