We're living through a historic time, and I already have agent friends asking me if I know anyone working on quarantine books, and especially memoirs. So I developed this new workshop, to help people get jumpstarted -- Plus, $800 off!

When a new client emails, gushing about the serious editorial surgery you just performed on her manuscript. No better feeling in the world, to have found in the book within the words. #editor #ghostwriter #developmenteditor #bookdoctor

Having worked in/around NYC publishing for more than 25 years now, I know there are wonderful people in there, trying to create a more diverse publishing landscape. But this ... 😬😬😬 #facepalm #cringecity

Such an interesting, complicated story, with so many mistakes made. I won't weigh in, since I haven't read it yet, but there's enough here to know that communities were hurt, and deserve to be heard. #americandirt

Tell me something I don't know. That's why one of my mandates for 2020 and beyond is to midwife more books by authors of color, LGBTQIA+ authors, differently-abled and intersectional authors. #ghostwriter #editor #developmentediting https://t.co/NfLGl0tT2J

Fair Warning: My rates are going up on February 1st, so if you're a lurker, an intender, or have meant to refer me to one of your friends or colleagues, do it now, or forever hold your peace. ✌️#editor #developmentediting #ghostwriter #writer4hire #amwriting

Please stop hating on adverbs. Adverbs are words. Words belong in writing. They need to be carefully chosen & used, just like any other word, with mindfulness. To an editor, writing sounds weird without them -- empty, bereft, colorless. #editing #developmenteditor #strongopinions

This is a beautiful reminder and challenge to broaden our reading lists in 2020 and beyond, to include authors of color, in remembrance of Nipsey's life. #NipseyHussle #reading

Excited to take on a new book project from a Weinstein survivor & #SilenceBreaker I was offered. Had to put some thought into it, since the subject matter can easily trigger, but 2020 and beyond are about putting good, important and necessary works into the world. #TimesUp #MeToo

Excited to receive word this morning from a client who just landed a literary agent, due to our work together! 💪😀💪👄

[Words Made Better @WordsMadeBette1]

#Progress Really looking forward to reading this one.
