Move the plot forward and tell the backstory through the characters' dialogue and action rather than through a faceless narrator. #amediting #bookeditor #writingcommunity
Just so you know, if I’m your editor, my comments will look like:
“Omg if she doesn’t kiss him RIGHT NOW I’m losing it”
“Okay I see what you did… but why did it hurt so bad??”
“Tell her the truth already, I’m begging you”
“THIS BITCH!”
“The audacity… I need more”

I'm sorry I doubted you, Mia.
As someone who used to work in tech, I'm sick of AI.
If not for the fact that I personally know some people doing good with it, I might quit social media altogether.

Some of us offer flat rates, too. (🙋♀️)
But this is certainly a valuable tool.
(I'm not affiliated, however.)

I just got word that an author client of mine has signed on with a publisher. I'm not saying that is guaranteed if I edit your manuscript ... but it helps! #amediting #bookeditor #writingcommunity howardlovy.com/editor/
It’s been a while. What I’ve been up to:
1. Editing by the fire.
2. Updating my contract: I don’t use AI to edit. Please don’t use AI write.
3. Playing baseball in the snow w/my son.
4. Reading Laura Ingalls w/my daughter.
5. Dreaming of summer in Maine.

Hello writers! I’m a beta reader who loves helping authors refine their stories before publication.
What I can help with:
• Pacing
• Plot clarity and lot more.....
If you’re looking for feedback on your manuscript, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to support your story.

Some secrets are meant to stay buried.
But in a great story, every reveal matters.
As a beta reader and editor, I work with authors to bring out those quiet details that make readers stop and feel it when everything clicks.
#betareader #bookeditor
Stop overexplaining in your manuscript. There is no need for a faceless narrator to point out the irony in situations. Readers get a little endorphin rush when they figure things out for themselves. #amediting #bookeditor #writingcommunity
Jaime may not say it outright, but she regrets not getting to know George better in school. In fact, that is the impetus for the whole novel...
#BookEditor #writingcommunity #writingprompt
Don’t have a one-night-stand with your manuscript. (Save that for your dreamboat MMC.) Make your words last.

Being edited is hard, even--no, especially--when you want to self-publish your manuscript. But we editors are on your side.
#BookEditor #writingcommunity
Any writers out there have a headcanon that they're friends with one or more of their characters? I need to know I'm not on an ego trip.😅

Here's how my day went today.
After 20+ years of freelancing, it's finally dawned on me: it's okay to pace myself and take breaks.
And if I have a bit of a tea habit, so be it. At least it's decaf (mostly).

Apparently I'm neither today, because I didn't edit my post enough. 🙃

Hey everyone! I'm new here! Can I sit next to you?
#bookeditor #onlinetutor #writing
A person who's skilled at writing is a 'wordsmith'. So is are editors and others who work with manuscripts "booksmiths"? Honest question.

Esteemed authors:
Are you seeking a romance editor? If so, Hannah can help. She edited one of my favorite books-- “Daisy’s Keeper”. It’s four love stories in one! She had her hands full.
Sincerely Yours,

I've reached a point where I spend a great percentage of my time undoing the damage caused by AI. Good human writing is idiosyncratic, uneven, can go on tangents, and can produce such brilliant phrasing that you want to read it over and over again. ChatBots do none of these. #amediting #bookeditor
My website footer has text that says "Member of" and then shows the logos of four organizations: ACES, EFA, Authors Guild, and St. Louis Publishers Association.
peep the new Authors Guild logo in my website footer! 👀 #amediting #freelanceeditor #bookeditor
