Editors, take a look at @raqueledits.bsky.social's #fictionediting website. It's impeccable. She does so many smart things: FAQs, #MSWL, contact form, Dropbox form to upload the MS after completing the contact form, "submit a testimonial" contact form...wow!!!

It's not "wrong" — it's just not "standard" (big scare quotes there) English. A good #editor won't try to "fix" something that isn't broken, especially in #fictionediting; they'll understand different dialects of English and help you make sure the #grammar is solid for the variety you're using.

Strong structure = stronger reader emotions. Readers feel what's built to last. And stories with strong foundations? Built to last.
What does your story's structure make readers feel? Is that what you want them to feel?

How do you edit passages that are upsetting?
@tanyagold.bsky.social ask the author to flag scenes that are upsetting ahead of time so they're ready.

How do you edit passages that are upsetting?
@cloviseditorial.bsky.social: Just power through and do it because the scene does have a purpose even though it's gross. And then take a very long break.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@racheloestreich.bsky.social: Encourage the author to play around with form. #Horror can be a place to face your fears, make fun of your fears. Look for opportunities to help your author do something that's beyond general conventions.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@tanyagold.bsky.social: Define your boundaries to yourself before you take on #horror projects. You don't have to take on every project.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@cloviseditorial.bsky.social: Ask the author a lot of questions! You can't ask them too many questions. Understanding what they're trying to do is essential to #editing #horror.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@racheloestreich.bsky.social A lesson #writers can pull from #poetry: Play w/ visual elements on the page to scale up or down the tension. When you remove the familiarity of how to read a book, you unnerve the reader.

@racheloestreich.bsky.social helps her authors find opportunities to trust the reader and let them put the pieces together themselves instead of spoonfeeding the reader.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor #horror
@tanyagold.bsky.social: A lot of writers fall into the trap of overexplaining a very small thing. Then you lose the details that are relevant.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor #horror
@racheloestreich.bsky.social: Your author doesn't always need to interpret a #horror scene for the reader—the reader can interpret it themselves, and the emotions then are more powerful.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
When editing #horror, @racheloestreich.bsky.social looks for: When is less more? Sometimes you don't need to tell the reader how to approach it. You can get a lot of horror in saying something outright.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@racheloestreich.bsky.social: In #horror, you have to balance shock and relief. You have to give readers a chance to stop and catch their breath. It can't be all tense all the time.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #freelanceeditor #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
When editing #horror, @tanyagold.bsky.social has the writer track what the reader's response in each scene is. Then they analyze the expectations for that subgenre of horror and whether it's working.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #developmentalediting #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@cloviseditorial.bsky.social: When #editing #horror, understanding what the novel is trying to accomplish is essential to make sure the horror elements are supporting their message.
#VCON25 #ACESVCon25 #amediting #freelanceeditor #bookediting #fictionediting #fictioneditor #bookeditor
@cloviseditorial.bsky.social: #Horror isn't just trying to tell a story—it's trying to make readers feel something and think about something.
