This story is one of my favorites so far this year!

Does anyone actually say the word "unputdownable," or is it simply only always in book marketing copy? 🤔

Awww...thank you so much for remembering! You're the sweetest!

Just sharing one of the many sites I often cite when suggesting a change while I'm copyediting or proofreading: madamgrammar.com/2010/05/20/h... Thanks, @madamgrammar.bsky.social!

Reviews play a huge role in helping authors reach more readers, and this book is especially timely and necessary right now.

THE CONSCIOUS STYLE GUIDE by Karen Yin has been an invaluable resource for so many of us since its release last year, so I was surprised to see only 25 reviews on Amazon! If you’ve found the book as insightful and helpful as I have, please consider sharing your thoughts with a review.

Anger sparks action, but people also need encouragement to keep going.

Remember to thank the people who are doing the things you want them to do.

If anyone ever needs a copy editor or proofreader for their Pokémon or Star Wars projects, please think of me! Working on these would make me the coolest mom ever! #AmEditing #LifeGoals

I really loved this story ♥️

Possibly also coming down with a cold.

Not going to lie. I feel lost, unanchored, and dejected today.

Editor/publisher friends: What are you doing about Copilot in Word. It just suddenly popped up. Do I need to be concerned about it while I'm working on authors' manuscripts? Why is Microsoft doing this to us?

Hey, #WordNerds! I was running errands and saw the best wordplay on a sign. Are you ready?

I swallowed a dictionary, and now I have thesaurus throat.

It took me a bit to process it, but then I chuckled the entire ride home. 😂

(It was outside a Realtor’s. Now I know who to refer people to.)

This book is going to be a valuable resource for editors, writers, and anyone else who wants to make sure that we are using language to communicate with compassion and equity in mind. I'm looking forward to diving in! 😄

Erin Brenner, one of my #editing heroes, reviewed "The Conscious Style Guide"! "You might be tempted to dive right into chapter 3 [best practices]. Fight that temptation. It’s like reading the front matter of a dictionary: your understanding of how to use this tool will jump into the stratosphere."

If your timeline is like mine and completely full of royal speculations, you should totally read ROYAL BLOOD by

Random thing I learned while copyediting: Hyena poop is white.
