I never use AI for any part of my editing process. It's always just me & the words, for every project. It doesn't matter if I'm proofreading or providing a developmental edit. It is & will always be 100% human work when I return an edit to a writer.

Beta reading isn't just for fiction. Self-help, how-to, and promotional lead magnet books can benefit from a quality control check that ensures consistency, coherence, and clarity. What genre are you writing in?

Big news! After doing (another) major rewrite of my novel, I have secured a meeting with a trad publisher! It's called Radio Starr, a story about identity set in the world of 1980s radio.

I did this piece for my niece, who's middle name is Morrigan - like the crow goddess from Celtic legend. :)
