In what world does love win? A few weeks ago, I went to two events, back to back, that I thought were separate. It turned out they were intimately connected... sallymoss-editorial.co.uk/blog/2026/05... @nebriefing.bsky.social #PeoplesEmergencyBriefing #family #security #climate #comms #Community
A black-and-white picture from around the 1940s of my late Great-Aunt Dot. She is turned to the right and looking to her left into the camera. Her hair is short and dark, styled in waves, and she has a serene smile and is wearing small earrings. We can just see the top of her pale blouse over her shoulders.White text on black background saying 'People's Emergency Briefing'. In the corner, a monochrome Union Flag with 'National Emergency Briefing' written under it.

Second of two testimonials I'm sharing this week because: 💡 Who doesn't love a year-end reminder that their work makes a difference? 💡 It's everyone's job nowadays to flag up skills & support that will only ever be available from other human beings (in this case, human editors). #editing #AI
Sally Moss Editorial name and strapline (do more good through great writing), plus client testimonial: Here we are at the end of this beautiful PhD journey. Throughout most of it, you truly went above and beyond what was required - not because you had to, but because you chose to.  

Your service exceeded my expectations in every way. You humanised the entire process, and your regular updates were outstanding and made what could have felt overwhelming so much easier to navigate. For that, I am deeply grateful. - PhD candidate, politics / international relations

Love this client feedback. Two main reasons: 💡 It's encouraging to be reminded of the good an editor can do. 💡 As AI continues to expand, I like how clients' spontaneous feedback often spells out the key gains of using a *human being* as their editor 👌 #copyediting #communication #AI #humantouch

Book club tonight. Anticipating discussion of racism, cultural appropriation and the publishing industry via this page-turner. (It also features a complimentary meta-nod to copy-editors: 'superhuman, eagle-eyed monsters that catch continuity errors unseen to the naked eye...') #Yellowface

I love a good solution. In a world of problems, it's good to remember there are always powerful actions we can take. One of the best solution-mongering organisations I know is @erc-earth.bsky.social. They're busy restoring nearly 100,000 hectares globally. www.ecosystemrestorationcommunities.org

Why is a document like a building? I blogged about that... I edit from the ground up for positive-impact projects, helping them capture their value and get social and environmental solutions into more people's heads. sallymoss-editorial.co.uk/blog/2025/06... #editing #proofreading #positiveimpact

Has AI replaced editors? I love this answer by Valerie Monckton, for two main reasons: 1) It's an excellent analysis of the pitfalls of blindly using AI for editing. 1/2 #editing #editingservices #AI #efficiency www.valeriemonckton.com/has-ai-repla...
