@GalleyBeggars This is absolutely awful. I'm so sorry you're going through this

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@SanderlingEdit Lol. Well, I don't work for N*wgen and never have, but even I know it's getting bad. You can guess how I know

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@SanderlingEdit *waves from the void*

This morning I am copy-editing an indie sci-fi thriller, and this afternoon I will be reading a genre-defying manuscript for a critique report.

I haven't had a proofread in a while and do quite miss them!

How did the thesis defence go?

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@SanderlingEdit Indeed ☹️. Good luck with your thesis defence tomorrow 🤞

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@SanderlingEdit I'm still checking in now and again. I don't really know where else to go!

@hihellolovely What, you mean you don't want the strictly limited signed and numbered deluxe slipcase edition with coloured cloth binding, ribbon, and head and tail bands? It's a bargain at £100! 😉😆

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@PalaeoCory Fucking hell. It's worse than some of the impenetrable stuff I had to read during my undergrad. Maybe that's what it trained on…

The September round-up is here. The broken-rib era is nearly over

@PRidgers87 I'd love one if it's still available, please. Plus always here for a well-deployed comma splice

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@JamesMFraleigh There's something quite satisfying about using proofreading marks, I think. And thank you – hopefully nearly there!

The August round-up: paper proofreads are back

@lisadecaux Thank you! Yeah, I'm getting there – much better than it was. Need to get back into the habit of doing some exercise again 😞

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@CastleWallsEdit It certainly helps keep the mind focused!

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

Word's Read Loud just read a misplaced semi-colon next to a closing bracket as a 'winky face', and I didn't know it was capable of such delightful whimsy. Particularly enjoyed that it interrupted a passage about atoning for one's sins…

[Hannah McCall @BlackCatEdit]

@nicolabigwood Haha – same!
