I'm fast, I'm good, I'm fun to work with, and I'm not the cheapest around because I've worked long enough to be both fast and good.

AND I'm always open to negotiating; I'd rather you get good work than be limited by budget!

I've been editing for 18 years, freelance editing for 11 years, and can spot a misplaced comma from a mile away.

I love that running errands lately, little girls keep coming up to me, or just pointing at my purse, and yelling LABUBU

Adults, maintain your whimsy.
The kids are watching and there's clearly joy in knowing they can keep loving cute or silly things forever.

Pros and Cons of cons for prose pros: one writer's events perspective

Pros(e)—writing, professionals, good things!
Cons—conventions, conferences, negatives!

Events in the writing/bookish world are a loaded topic these days.

I went to a con(vention) and a con(ference) this summer, and—well, let's get into it. The good, the bad, the ugly, the puns.

I had a FANTASTIC time, overall, at Literary Cleveland's Inkubator Writing Conference.

But what made it stand out, especially in a time when so many bookish events have been...chaotic?

This full day of #CLEInk25 has my head spinning in the best ways (and not just because of this stairway!)

I have so many notes from publishing and genre presentations...!

People have been kind and welcoming, all the best of both Cleveland community and the writing community 🫶
