I recently visited my old friend Rich Christensen. He's also a former colleague and one of my former students. He helped me with research for my #memoir project, but we also spent a lot of time talking about *his* memoir, which recounts the three years he spent #teaching in #Botswana.

ESTELLA UPDATE! In June, I hung out with my friend's daughter, who recommended a Donna Tartt novel. I'm pleased to report that I saw her again a few weeks ago and we talked about her #book recommendation. Here's how it went. #readmorebooks #bookrecs #writer #editor #thesecrethistory #donnatartt

Since 2023, I've been #copyediting manuscripts for Brooke Warner's presses. I've gotten to know her as a #publisher, one whom I greatly respect, but I don't know her outside of that role. This post taught me a lot about who she is as a human being. It turns out that we have a lot in common.

One of the best things about being a #freelance #editor and #resumewriter is that I don’t have to sit at a desk for eight hours a day in an office with a controlling boss dictating what I do and with whom I work. Instead, I get to go outside and take walks when the weather is gorgeous. (1/4)

Writing your own #resume is hard—I know because mine isn’t great. Like most people, I have trouble seeing the big picture. It’s awkward to brag about my achievements, it’s difficult to explain how my work has made an impact, and it’s challenging to condense my experience.

I believe in a world where we can all be our authentic selves, a world where everyone is valued and respected. Because of that, I stand with those who are fighting for equality and justice—not just in June, but always.

If I’m always focusing on my #editing business, I’m not living. And it’s not just my personal life that suffers—so does my work. So, I force myself to slow down on weekends. If a client can’t wait until Monday, it’s not the right job for me. #editor #copyeditor #smallbusiness #resumewriter

I left academia in 2015. My tenured teaching job was cut, higher ed was in crisis, and I didn’t want to risk having the same thing happen again. I gave myself a year to see if I could make a living as an editor. I wasn't sure I could make it work, but I'm glad I gave myself the chance to find out.

AI copyediting tools are a mixed bag, performing some mechanical tasks well but with a tendency to introduce errors and flatten author voice.
