Day 31: Advice for new editors
My advice: Network/build a community, learn as much as you can about books & editing, and have patience. Don't give up!
It took me a long time (over a year) to get my first clients. Good things take time. You can do it!

For the final day of the #EditorsTeaClubCommunity, we’ve been asked to share the advice we would give to a new editor just starting out.
I’m asked about this quite a bit, so I have two posts I share with folks who come to me wanting to develop their skills or to actual form their business. ⬇️

My favorite hobbies are business expenses because those are my clients and I have to know the current trends.
2021 me was terrified to take the step into fulltime freelance but 2025 me is happy to be here. Cheers and may you have a spooky fun Halloween!

29. Share a moment when you felt truly supported by an editing community.
Shoutout to #EditorsTeaClub and #RevPit. Freelancing can be isolating, and I was delighted to discover these online spaces where I can meet other editors, ask questions, and feel at home.

#EditorsTeaClubCommunity Day 29: Share a moment I felt supported by an editing community
As a newer editor, the editing community has been so welcoming and helpful. When I struggle to get clients or don't know what to do, many amazing editors are there for me.
Thank you! 💜

A partially cloudy blue sky, the view overlooks Lake Champlain and the upstate New York shore. In the distance there is a mountain with muted fall foliage on display.
A rainbow in brilliant color through a Vermont backyard and a playset frames the left side of the shot.
A shot of the Ben & Jerry's factory entrance.
Much needed rain after a long drought in Vermont, the rain clings to the windshield as the viewer drives down a winding mountain road. The road is framed by trees in muted fall colors.
Biggest catch-up post yet but I was on vacation in beautiful Vermont (all photos were taken by me).
Day 23: What is a small editorial win that you are proud of? I love it most when I can help the author tie up a loose end or tweak a sentence so it sings.

I confessed all of this to the #EditorsTeaClubCommunity, which I had been neglecting, and had folks I barely knew surround me with love, offers to check in, kind words. These were just black and white messages on a screen, but I felt a little less alone. I can’t say that I suddenly became . . . ⬇️

#EditorsTeaClubCommunity Day 28: What stories align with my values?
Stories that center around humanity. They make me feel or think about something. They have themes of empathy and compassion.
I want to edit human stories. No generative AI/LLMs.
Human creativity matters! #OttersEditing

Editors Tea Club Community social media prompt list. Today is October 27th: What's one editing myth you'd love to bust?
No ghostbusting 👻 just mythbusting!
There's a myth that editors will change your voice or take over the story.
A good editor won't change your voice/story, but enhance it instead, with suggestions or simple but effective changes to the sentences.

What is my go-to snack or drink while editing?
Coffee! ☕ I don't usually eat while editing (distracting) but when I do it's dark chocolate 🍫
There's a clear theme here 😅 I'm an unmedicated ADHDer so I use a lot of daily caffeine to help me focus.

Today’s #EditorsTeaClubCommunity question asks our go-to snack or drink while editing. My go-to drink is definitely tea. (Anyone want go guess how I wound up in the editor’s TEA club?)
But snacks will vary, though they’re rarely healthy. ⬇️

24. What does being an editor mean to you?
It means helping writers shape something they've poured their hearts and souls into, and I take that seriously. It means understanding what encourages readers to turn pages. It means loving stories and words.

Editors Tea Club Community social media challenge prompt list. Today is October 24th: What's does being an editor mean to you?
#EditorsTeaClubCommunity D24
Being an editor means hope for a future I didn't think was possible 🥺
Being an editor means passing on that hope to my clients. Hope that their books, their dreams, will be written, polished, and published.
I'm here to help dreams come true!

. . . those messages are of strength, empathy, change. Their characters are fighters. They challenge and defy, support and care, grow. They are voices that we need, and I get to help make those voices heard.
All on my terms.

I don't have a "pie in the sky" project I'd want to edit.
Because all projects I get to work on are my dream projects. I love editing your stories, books, and poems.
Simply having work, helping you, and paying back into the community is enough!
