Being a #bookeditor isn't all fun and reading books. Sometimes you have to do homework, like reminding yourself how @ChicagoManual treats serial commas. Lucikly, they have a quiz for that!

It’s the end of an era. I’ve had an account at the @theabqlibrary my entire life but now we’ve all moved away. Tears have been shed on this day. I grew up in the library and am so grateful for them! #library

It's taken some time, but I've finally finished my @PTCBookHouse courses! I must thank @Rob_Worth & @katenascimedits for their support. They listened to me talk about needing to complete the courses for too long to mention. I wouldn't have made it without their help! Thank you!!

First day back at my desk after the @histnovsoc UK 2024 conference. (Everyone knows you have to take Monday off, right?) Feeling inspired and eager to put words on the page again! #HistoricalFiction #HistFic

[Kelly Urgan | Fiction editing @editegrity]

With a heavy heart I leave the #HNSConference2024. What an outrageous weekend packed full of fun, wonderful people, books, ideas, talks and inspiration.

With all this energy, returning to the real world (train delays, no coffee trolley and a lonely desk) is a tad easier.

[Kelly Urgan | Fiction editing @editegrity]

@katenascimedits I’m sad I won’t be there to see you and catch up!! Good luck with your presentation! Can’t wait to hear about it! 💪🤞

The #HNSConference2024
begins in earnest today! Bernard Cornwell, Ian Mortimer, Elizabeth Chadwick, Kate Quinn, Hazel Gaynor & Gill Paul to name just a few of the amazing authors here!!

I haven’t seen much either! Maybe tomorrow the chatter will start?

En route to Totnes/Dartington for the #HNSConference2024!

So thrilled to be heading to Devon for the first time too.

Will share as many highlights as I can over the next four days.

My SO and I both work from home, and it’s rarely a problem. Today, however, he seems to be on a call with Darth Vader and I Can. Not. Concentrate. I’m in awe of this man’s voice.

I have checked out Jane Austen at Home from the library a half a dozen times. It's one of the best Jane Austen-related resources I've found! But I'm going to give in now and buy the special new revised edition!

[Lucy Worsley @Lucy_Worsley]

I'm tickled pink that on 26 September my book JANE AUSTEN AT HOME is coming out in a special new revised edition, ready for Jane's 250th birthday next year! You can pre-order it here 😃

I'm binging episodes of the @rock_swords podcast! They're fun and interesting. I found myself opening up dozens of new tabs to check out their historical research book recommendations. #HistFic authors, you need this episode! #historicalfiction #historical #bookrecommendations

[HISTORY PODBLAST @historypodblast]

Historical research! What resources do we use for our own novels? @rock_swords @MatthewHarffy @SA_McKay

Researching is a huge part of a historical fiction author's life. In this episode we discuss what we use to embed ourselves in... https://t.co/7GDSt8jz47

I've just seen this from @TLCUK! What an exciting, useful session! I'm dismayed because, for the first time in years, I won't be at @The_CIEP conference in person in Birmingham because I'll be at the @histnovsoc conference in Devon. Thank goodness for online conference options!

[The Literary Consultancy @TLCUK]

We are delighted to be presenting a special 90-minute version of our Ethical Editing training (which we currently run for UK publishers) at this year's @The_CIEP Conference in #Birmingham. The programme is packed full of valuable sessions for editors: https://t.co/w0uC46uC3P

As an American in the UK, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked about microwaving water/tea …

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

April Fool’s Day is meant to be a bit of lighthearted fun but I can fully appreciate I went too far here. I got carried away and for that I apologise.

[Kelly Urgan | Fiction editing @editegrity]

Very excited to have a ticket tomorrow’s event by @_TheFLIP! Who’s going? I’d love to make a few new friends *before* showing up and having to stand awkwardly alone by the snack table. Help a girl out! 🙏

[Molly Flatt @mollyflatt]

I miss the days when #BookTwitter was a majority positive, supportive space. So if I can help with anything, let me know. I'm an author @panmacmillan, editor @TheBookseller, run #FutureBook & @BigBookWeekend, & I mentor/edit writers. Background: tech & marketing. My door is open

[Kelly Urgan | Fiction editing @editegrity]

Very excited to see #WoodlandStranger coming into the world! Do you like love stories? Do you like forests, fairies and magic? Ta da! Here’s a book for you!

Also thank goodness spring is finally here! 🌼🌺

@ephemerily Beautiful photo!!

[Kelly Urgan | Fiction editing @editegrity]

I completely agree! I wish they’d rename it OR we start another book fair that’s exactly like the Scholastic fairs from school. Such joy. Those might be my best primary school memories.

[Chloe Timms @clotimms]

I always think a) this should be made clear on the LBF site and b) London Book Fair should be renamed something more business-y because it always makes me think of those incredible Scholastic book fairs you'd get at school.
