Cover Reveal time for @brendannoble.bsky.social 's next book! I'm so excited to get to help with this reveal, and be a part of this epic new series by such a great writer. If you are a fan of dark fantasy, then you'll want to make sure you sign up for the Kickstarter when it launches later this year

Damn, apparently book editing costs 10k now? I am MASSIVELY undercharging then! Not changing my rates though, so 🤷‍♂️

Rainy days like today are my favorite days to lock myself in my office and hammer away at client work. The vibes are just immaculate #bookeditor #author #scifi #fantasy

Challenge yourself by reading through at least 1 book a year that you really want to DNF. You never know how you'll feel about it in the end.

Recently found out I was duped into editing an AI generated manuscript. Trying not to beat myself up over it, while making changes to ensure it doesn't happen again. A new section has been added to my consultation form emphasizing my stance on the matter.

I really would love to fill my last two spots for the year before my rate goes up next month. I am looking to lime edit sci-fi or fantasy, bonus points if it features an MM romance, has dark and/or Gothic vibes, and deep dives into the characters

Effective July 1st, my rate will be increasing. If you have a retainer paid on a project prior to that date, you will not be affected by the increase for that project. Any project booked on or after July 1st will be at my new rate.

With Independent Bookstore Day coming up, I just wanted to send out a reminder that Barnes & Noble is NOT an independent bookstore and should NOT be where you go to celebrate that day.

I'm glad my plan to focus on just one social media platform instead of trying to spread across three has been working out. I've had a ton more fun on Thr3ads the past month than I ever did on Tw1tt3r

Seeing a lot of authors I thought were respectable using AI to promote their books. Truly disappointing.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and it is important for us LGB's to remember we wouldn't have gotten to marriage equality in 2015 if it wasn't for the decades of fighting led by the T's. Community doesn't throw each other under the bus. Stand together.

I know last year I said I probably wasn't going to do this for a while, but I think I'm going to have to raise my rates again this year. I'm not sure by how much, but any changes will go into effect on July 1st.

The client book I'm editing right now is so raw and honest. I'm really enjoying it. It's definitely going to be a hit if its audience is able to find it when it releases.

How bad will my business suffer if I delete my twitter? I already struggle to get clients, but maybe one less social media to manage would help me focus more energy elsewhere.

Both of my WIPs are very challenging to me. One WIP has a huge cast and huge set pieces to navigate. The other WIP is written in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, so figuring out how to balance that has been crazy
