Reposted by #StetChatWes Cowley @wes.wordsbywes.ink · 16/09/2026A4: I rarely do coaching, but a few years back I worked with a client who was doing her first nonfiction book. I was like the fourth person she'd worked with (I should have noped out, but there were Reasons). She'd make progress, stall, and start from scratch. Over and over. #StetChat 231

Reposted by #StetChatJennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A6: I'm not sure. My day job used to be in a cover art department for a big trade publisher. I think I'd try to draw on that experience to give them some feedback. But that should probably be a different service than the editorial stuff. #StetChat 011
Reposted by #StetChatJennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A7: I respond that I don't offer that kind of editing and maybe explain how what I do offer differs from what they're looking for. #StetChat 011
Reposted by #StetChatIrenē @irenecolth.bsky.social · 16/09/2026#StetChat A6: Ah! My contract has a mutual anti-AI use clause, but it's—currently—only about the manuscript itself. I'd demur that I'm not a visual artist and then, again, refer them to humans instead. 021
Reposted by #StetChatIrenē @irenecolth.bsky.social · 16/09/2026#StetChat A7: This happened to me recently, and I did refer them to the EFA directory. 011

Reposted by #StetChatJoanie Eppinga @eagleeyeeditor.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A7: I tell them I don't do that but that I can refer them to someone who does, if they'd like. 011
Reposted by #StetChatJesse – Rainbow Pen Editing @rainbowpenediting.bsky.social · 16/09/2026#StetChat A7 I'd say I don't offer that service. I might refer them if they seem clueless rather than unwilling to put in the work. Otherwise, I'd contact whoever I might refer before mentioning them to see if they're willing to take on a client who doesn't look at their potential editor's website. 051

Reposted by #StetChatLeigh, as in tea 🍵 | Freelance editor @revafisheye.myatproto.social · 16/09/2026A5: This has happened to me a couple of times. I have offered to do a more substantial edit if they're interested, but I've never been taken up on it. Sometimes folks are just really attached to their work. #StetChat 031
Reposted by #StetChatJennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A3: I would be very disappointed but then go back to them and ask them in a non-confrontational way whether they used AI and why. #StetChat 031
