The best feeling as an editor is an author telling you that your suggestions saved them from a writing slump. Authors who appreciate their editors deserve a cookie. #Writing #Editing #Authors #Books #EditingCommunity #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #Writers #Editors #Publishing #WIP #Write

I've offered to post so her family doesn't have to.
My dear friend @jaminord.bsky.social died unexpectedly this morning.
Her family doesn't know details yet & would likely prefer privacy.
If you knew Jami, please pass the word.

On a Terry Pratchett forum, there's talk of how the battle of Cable Street inspired a book. And there's talk about politics today, and what it means to be on the right side of history. And this, my lovely writer friends, THIS is what literature is for.

Even if your style guide uses minimal hyphens, there are times when you might choose to use a hyphen to avoid unfortunate combinations in the middle of a word. You can’t always spot these when drafting or editing, so need to be on the lookout for them in #proofreading
