"You have made my day! ... I love your work."
This author discovered that having your book edited doesn't have to feel like going to the dentist.
Want me to extract, fill and polish?

To every author querying in 2020, please know that queries are often the first thing to fall off the Must Do List when everything is in crisis and our current client list needs us. Also, every agent I know is aware of this and feels SUPER guilty about it. Please remember this:
Are you a narrative non-fiction writer based in London? Do you consider yourself to be from a background under-represented in publishing? Are you looking for professional feedback on your writing? Then THIS is for you! Applications close 18 Jan. https://t.co/dpaAQxC1Zt
Desperate for work. Will write anything; will edit; will ghost write; will run social media accounts; will create content; will even go back to spin-doctoring or teaching the 17 places to puncture on a corpse so gasses do not build up when dumping it in water. Please hire me.
When the prospective client you've just done a sample edit for begins their reply email with: "TAKE MY MONEY!"
Reckon she liked my work?
😁😁😁

We’re a tiny, two-person, #indie#publisher who has never received any funding. To be frank, we’ll struggle to keep afloat unless we sell books. Now.
Please help us. Buy a book for yourself or a friend this #Christmas2020
Postage free.
Empty those boxes!

A great day at #CIEP2020 (where I've accidentally spent the day tweeting from my personal account @akbea 🙄).
I won't make the quiz tonight, but I'm looking forward to some more fab talks tomorrow!
One of my favorite pieces of editorial guidance of all time, from the moving remembrances of John Homans at @NYMag:
"Take some fucking words out,” he shouted at a writer. “It’s like a fucking Victorian living room in there.”
Looking for work! I’m a freelance subeditor/proofreader with a decade of experience at national newspaper level. Why, this very morning I spotted this misused apostrophe in the wild. Hire me and I’ll expunge any similar howlers from your book/mag/paper/web-based screed. DMs open!
So I got made redundant today 😞
Unsure what to do but will be ramping up time spent doing graphic designs, make it a full time thing?
If you or anyone you know is looking for a graphic designer/digital marketer let me know? Also want to do more book covers.
RTs appreciated 💜
On day 3 of the Endless Silent Scream blog tour, I want to thank @Ginger_bookgeek, @MachinSharronm1, @Books_n_all, and @karlou for their amazing reviews and for taking part in the tour. I am so grateful to you all.
