There’s an invaluable chapter on East Asian/Asian Am literature and non-Western traditions. Reminds me of when I edited a modern retelling of a Chinese classic and what I thought I knew about fiction was turned on its head… in a good way!

Rethinking craft, and how I as an editor also perpetuate certain cultural expectations when it comes to shaping good fiction. Add this to your to-read list: Craft in the Real World by Matthew Salesses

I've taken this Working with Indie Authors course and it's very worthwhile for freelance editors, new or veteran. Tanya thinks of everything and is kindly offering a scholarship too! I've been able to work more efficiently now and zero in on the types of projects I love. Apply!

The difference between passion and emotion is an important distinction for editors (to work with others and stay sane). Thank you @meperl for putting it into words in your #ACESAccelerate session Editing Without Tears. I never thought about this in terms of passion!

Nothing I love more than sitting down with an MG graphic novel. Some new ones here to look forward to!

New vocab! Synesis, hyperbaton, anastrophe and anthimeria. Knowing what to call these grammatical curiosities is half the battle #ACESAccelerate

[eldesEdits @eldestran]

As #ACESAccelerate begins, lovely to remember and honor Henry Fuhrmann, long an inspiration to me as a copy editor, Asian American, former Metpro, and former LAT-er. He will be missed.
