(1/2) 2025 is bringing some exciting changes! Arch Editorial will continue taking on new projects in the New Year and has several bookings already; however, I will no longer be blogging or posting actively on social media in order to focus on further career opportunities...

Sometimes self-editing feels hard, but when you catch that typo or plot hole before submitting everything to your editor? The BEST feeling.

(1/2) #Headhopping, or jumping between multiple perspectives without clear delineations, is one of the most detrimental issues I see in my work as an editor. That's why I've written an article on how to stop driving readers head hopping mad! See the images for a preview...

Invite a friend to your writing session on August 4th for #NationalFriendshipDay! Accountability partners encourage you stick to a designated writing time, and whether you're meeting with an old friend or a new one, you'll deepen your friendship as well as your craft. Win-win!

Happy Fourth of July! In honor of Independence Day, I wanted to share just a few of the ways that American English spellings vary from British English spellings. For my American friends whose spelling is STILL influenced from reading Harry Potter as a child, this one is for you!

(2/2) Maybe sometimes you're truly too busy, or you need a break to recharge—and that's perfectly ok too. But life will always be crazy, so make sure you set a deadline to return to writing. Don't delay for some magical free moment... you may be waiting for quite some time!

[Nicole Arch @archeditorial]

(1/2) When it's hard to find time for writing, you may be tempted to wait for a "perfect time." Don't! Instead, consider your priorities. You can probably make time to sit in your chair and write if you decide that's what you really need to do...

I post a lot about how #breaks replenish your #creativity & #motivation. I'm happy to report that this advice remains true! Whether you're visiting Alaska or your local park, remember that #personaltime isn't a distraction. It's an important, inspiring part of the #writingprocess

(2/2) why filter words are harmful, how to cut them from your prose, and when, in rare cases, you should consider keeping them. Link in bio and here (https://t.co/Qlx0fltDx3), or check out the images for a preview!

[Nicole Arch @archeditorial]

(1/2) Many writers use filter words to convey what POV characters experience. But if you want to immerse readers in a character’s POV, eliminating filter words is a better course of action. Check out my newest editorial article to learn...

Editing requires objectivity, which is near impossible after pouring your soul into a story. That's why even editors like me hire other editors to perfect their writing! Don't settle for "fine"—catch lingering issues with an objective, trustworthy, and fresh-eyed professional👀

Because every manuscript is different, I work with my authors to find the best service, quote, and timeline for their unique needs—from beta reading and editorial reviews to professional editing and coaching. Just fill out my contact form (link in bio) or DM me to get started!
