The book that taught me #copyediting in the early 1990s. Since teaching #bookediting for Editorial Arts Academy, I've been missing it fiercely. I finally broke down and bought a used copy. It's like seeing an old friend! #amediting #proofreading #editor #editorslife #indieeditors

When teaching me how to drive, my dad said that the moment I feel comfortable behind the wheel is when I’ll be most dangerous. I think about that when editing—never stop paying attention and questioning. #ACESchat xitter.cf/megan_stolz/status/976…

On 1/27 we held our inaugural event for Editorial Arts Academy. 50 aspiring #bookeditors met in #Montpelier #VT and learned what type of #freelance #editor they could be, how to find work, and secrets to building confidence. Lots more to come! #editorslife noeleditorial.com/blog/edito…
Helpful post from @NYBookEditors on working with a professional #editor. Our terms differ a bit - I use "line edit" instead of "comprehensive edit" - but editing definitions often differ. Bottom line: it pays to be thoughtful about the editing process. nybookeditors.com/2017/03/ma…
My favorite line from this article: "Editing, editing, editing! Invest as much as possible in that service." #amediting #copyediting #proofreading #editing xitter.cf/sevendaysvt/status/945…

Susannah was quoted in this @ReedsyHQ article about prologues. Prologues are like musical overtures, she said! #amediting #amwriting #writetip #writerslife xitter.cf/ReedsyHQ/status/944311…

Understanding subtlety and nuance in style is just as important as learning the style rules.

Taped to the counter at the local convenience store. I strongly recommended fixing; clerk wasn't receptive. #amediting #grammar #ouch
