Finished #CuttingTeeth @cbakerbooks If there's another novel out there that brings the "joys" of parenthood to dark, vivid, satirical, hugely realistic life I've yet to find it! Absolutely brilliant. Scarily insightful, LOVED it. August via @vintagebooks

Hello #writingcommunity, who is the very best developmental editor you know (specifically in the realm of #speculative fiction)? Even better if they've worked on projects similar to The Husbands by @cbakerbooks or The School for Good Mothers by @jessaminechan. TIA!
