Beta reader life: when your weekend plans involve a manuscript this thick, and you're genuinely excited about it. Writers, tell me what your favorite part of the revision process is? #betareader #amreading #fanficreader #booklover #editortips

Oh yeah one of my favourite #EditorTips: you learn so much from ALL your colleagues, editors and non-editors alike. Typesetters, production managers, printers, programmers, designers, illustrators, librarians, project managers…

• manuscript critiques are a thing
• find an editor you vibe with
#EditorTips

• you can’t predict what’s going to be the trendy genre five years from now
• only a tiny fraction of authors become bestsellers so write *your* book, there are readers who will love it
• understand the stages of editing and be realistic about what your MS is ready for
#EditorTips

Some advice I remember giving:
• check out @scbwi.bsky.social
• check out the Business and Professional Development for Editors group on FB
• write your memoir first, you can worry about restructuring it later
• check out Developmental Editing by Scott Norton

Jeff, you should start a #EditorTips topic/trend!
