Although I edit most adult fiction, these are the genres I love to edit (and read)! Regardless of the genre, I excel at anything relationship-based. I’m all about character-based novels that explore the human condition.

This just in: Writers and editors should no longer use em dashes for any reason. AI has taken them over. We will have to rely on other ways to link ideas within a sentence—I’m sure we’ll figure something out! #FreelanceEditing #GrammarSnack #AprilFoolsDay #EmDashForever

Sales Funnels for Editors: Be Where Clients Can Find You - Right Touch Editing Sales funnels are clever marketing tools that can help freelance editors identify and connect with potential clients—and ultimately grow their businesses.

Clients rarely find you through just one channel. They move through a funnel—directory, LinkedIn, website—before reaching out.

Understanding that path helps you show up in the right places.

Chicago 18 (7.82) notes that a computer keyboard might have a Backspace key, a Return key, an Option key . . . and a space bar. Apparently the initial-capping rule no longer applies to the space bar, maybe because it’s a bar instead of a key? 🤔 #FreelanceEditing #GrammarSnack
