The book that taught me #copyediting in the early 1990s. Since teaching #bookediting for Editorial Arts Academy, I've been missing it fiercely. I finally broke down and bought a used copy. It's like seeing an old friend! #amediting #proofreading #editor #editorslife #indieeditors

We're extremely proud to have #copyedited These Violent Delights, an important and critically acclaimed novel about far-reaching aftereffects of sexual abuse. Congratulations on the stellar review, @VictoriaNamkung! https://t.co/ByXdWiO2hV #amediting #copyediting #indieauthors

When teaching me how to drive, my dad said that the moment I feel comfortable behind the wheel is when I’ll be most dangerous. I think about that when editing—never stop paying attention and questioning. #ACESchat https://t.co/XbZNPdScGL

With no universally accepted definitions for the various levels of editing, every #bookeditor should define their offerings. Here's how it breaks down at Noel Editorial. #amediting #freelanceediting https://t.co/cn0z717iYM

On 1/27 we held our inaugural event for Editorial Arts Academy. 50 aspiring #bookeditors met in #Montpelier #VT and learned what type of #freelance #editor they could be, how to find work, and secrets to building confidence. Lots more to come! #editorslife https://t.co/hUzBMFH6aV

@QuiethouseEdit I love that you have John Mayer in your bio. I have Ben Folds in mine! Great minds! (Or crazy minds?)

[Noel Editorial @NoelEditorial]

Helpful post from @NYBookEditors on working with a professional #editor. Our terms differ a bit - I use "line edit" instead of "comprehensive edit" - but editing definitions often differ. Bottom line: it pays to be thoughtful about the editing process. https://t.co/n7hoymLKRV

Understanding subtlety and nuance in style is just as important as learning the style rules.
