#RWLWritingTip Spend time in nature. Take deep breaths. Write using your own, human brain. Write about human experiences, human emotions. Let yourself be inconvenienced. Let your process be inefficient. Let it be hard. Hard is good. #bookeditor #freelanceeditor #literature #kidlit

Happy Pub Day, @lewoodsy.bsky.social! Years ago, I got to work with the inimitable Laurel Woods on early drafts of her wild memoir about a strip club empire, family secrets, & murder. Now it is out in the world. So proud of you, Laurel! ❤️🍾❤️🍾 @bloomsburyacademic.bsky.social #memoir #bookeditor

It hasn’t been all balmy, blue-sky days this summer, but I am editing outdoors on every single one of them and feeling grateful for it. #bookeditor #freelanceeditor #literaryfiction #kidlit #memoir

I feel sad for my former self who never read this perfect novel. Happy for my current self who is lingering in the sad, beautiful, listless, poignant story. Jealous of my future self who gets to read it over and over. @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social #Hemingway #TheSunAlsoRises #bookeditor #booksky

Springtime at Rebecca Weston Literary! I am editing a lot of exciting projects this season, from dreamy middle-grade stories to suspenseful adult manuscripts. I do have a couple spots open before I book up through summer, so reach out if you need anything! #booksky #bookeditor #freelanceeditor

THE BLUE DRESS/ @RebeccaMorrison.bsky.social is a beautiful & poignant story about a girl’s relationship w/Iran, America, her mother, her friend, her body, & a blue dress. I got to edit early drafts of this story, and it instantly & permanently lodged itself into my heart. @MacKidsBooks.bsky.social

It’s been a while. What I’ve been up to: 1. Editing by the fire. 2. Updating my contract: I don’t use AI to edit. Please don’t use AI write. 3. Playing baseball in the snow w/my son. 4. Reading Laura Ingalls w/my daughter. 5. Dreaming of summer in Maine. #kidlit #mglit #booksky #bookeditor

There is nothing more human or hopeful than dance. I took my daughter to see the Martha Graham Dance Co. perform & we got this beautiful book by Ken Browar & Deborah Ory/The NYC Dance Project (@HachetteUS.bsky.social) at @literatibookstore.bsky.social. Grateful to share the arts with the next gen.

If words are how you make sense of the world, use them. Write to figure things out. Write to manage anxiety. Write to reach others. Write to create change. Writing is an act of hope. #RWLWritingTip #writingtips #writing #bookeditor #kidlit

Outdoor editing is the best editing! Sometimes, after nearly two decades as a #bookeditor, I still can’t believe that I get to make a living by reading stories all day long. #freelanceeditor #dreamjob #summer #booksky

You said it, @juliescheina.com. I will never be interested in reading fiction that did not come from a human mind, heart, soul.

It never gets old, seeing a book that I had a small part in bringing into the world, on a shelf or in a kid’s hands. Here is the fabulous #TheLegendaryMoSeto by @aychanwrites.bsky.social, in the wild and in good company, at @schulerbooks.bsky.social. #kidlit #booksky @simonkids.bsky.social

#RWLWritingTip Having trouble getting into a writing groove? Set aside the same time every day. Some days you’ll write, some days you’ll stare lifelessly out the window. But the more consistently you show up, the more consistently the writing will flow. #writingtip #bookeditor #writing

As a developmental #bookeditor, my main job is to recognize a writer’s vision, find what is at the heart of the story, and draw it out. I am fueled by the desire to help others’ labors of love become fully realized. #freelanceeditor #booksky

#RWLWritingTip Want to show why two characters are right for each other? Make them intriguing and irresistible. If readers can’t help falling for your characters, they won’t wonder why the characters are falling for each other. P.S. Witty banter never hurts. #writingtips #bookeditor #booksky
