Given recent events, I’m doing my darnedest to stay away from this place. Find me in the blue place, same handle. (Keeping my account here to prevent imitators, much as I’d like to delete it so Elon’s minions notice.)

Authors! If you’re worried about AI companies stealing your work, you may be interested in signing this! (Did you know some publishers already have a default of letting your work be scraped for AI, unless you opt out?) https://t.co/rfZfNRvJX4

Excited to announce that I have just been made the copyeditor for the Journal of the Royal Musical Association @royalmusical and the RMA Research Chronicle. Musicologist friends, if you’re publishing there, it’s going to be me squinting at your commas! 😊

@spanglykoala Fingerless gloves? They help a bit.

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@goodeedits Me! Depending on the field 😊

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@amwilson_opera That's why people employ editors! 😊

@VotingDogs Max has been waiting since 8am! 😱

Max has a hurty tail, but that hasn't stopped him getting up early to join the #DogsAtPollingStations @VotingDogs

@julianmphilips Make sure you nip on the tram to Delft too, which is equally (or more) lovely.

@CambUP_Music Aaaaahhh, I so wish I could have copyedited this one… 😢

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@robhaskins I worked it out 😉

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@SSProofreading Oh yes!

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

Proofreading word of the day: supercalifragalisticexpialidocious. (And yes, it was spelled correctly!)

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@RudyDoesBooks I'm wondering that too. There are still some academics here, but fewer than there used to be.

Typo of the day: ‘She suffers from stage freight’

I’m not sure any of my followers need this, but maybe they can retweet it.

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@spellegance Yep, no probs. I may not be interested but you can tell me more!

[Claire@ClarionEditing @ClarionEditing]

@mattkaner And as for that weird crossy thing in front of the F 🤷‍♀️
