i’ve been taking some notes

I recommend taking on a project about Arctic expeditions during the summer -- reading about people falling through the ice has a cooling effect. #amediting

Sometimes I miss academia. It doesn't last very long, and it doesn't happen too often. (It has been eight years since I defended my PhD.) Any other lapsed or recovering academics out there? 👋🏼

[Alison Jacques @msalisonjacques]

@akdobbin That's a great one!

[Alison Jacques @msalisonjacques]

@CWWilkie Oops! 😆

[Alison Jacques @msalisonjacques]

Here's a tip for all of you who copyedit or index books and need a little boost on this Monday: go to Google Books and search for "acknowledgments" and your name in quotes. Then scroll through the praise. You're doing a great job. 🤗

It's really something to watch anti-abortion women tweet today as if this isn't the same ideology that would happily ban them from having a bank account

Oh, Easter Friday is a holiday, is it? I know I'm not the only freelancer working today. 👋🏼 Also, "spoliation" just does not look right. #amediting

[Alison Jacques @msalisonjacques]

On Friday afternoons I get punchy and want to leave a sentence that begins "Needles to say, ..." #amediting 🪡

Hey, fellow freelancers! You should raise your rates. You deserve it. Especially if you are still getting paid the same rate you were getting paid a decade ago. Or even a year ago. Charge more, because you’re worth it.✨

Scholars and researchers, please don't assume you know the preferred pronouns of any unfamiliar authors you refer to in a paper. Instead, check for pronouns in their Twitter bio, read their online faculty profile, or look up their book on the publisher's website. #amediting

@EditorTanya Welcome to my rabbit hole!

[Alison Jacques @msalisonjacques]

@EditorTanya That tourists are welcome to attend Sunday church services in the Moravian settlement of Christiansfeld, Denmark, but the congregation would prefer that they don't just pop in, take some photos, whisper, and then leave.
