the best editor you could literally ever ask for in both the shortform and longform categories is @jesszimmerman.com - and she's freelance, so go hire her!!! www.jesszimmerman.com/editing.html
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

The result of the Quirk sale to Andrews Mcmeel was, conveniently, the end of Quirk Books Union. Devastated by the outcome but proud of what we did. Publishing needs unions, period.

A final update from Quirk Books Union ✊💔 Devastated that, in the three months since we unionized, management never met the union at the bargaining table -- and now the remaining four union members have all been laid off.

I just want to say that forming a union is an act of strength, fellow-feeling, and belief in the work you do. That belief isn’t always enough because the people in power only care about what they can get, but I’m proud of my comrades for their courage and optimism.

All my love and solidarity to Quirk Books Union. The publishing industry has no future without unions, and I'm so proud that we were part of the effort to unionize publishing.

solidarity forever with the Quirk Union; zero solidarity, respect, or understanding for management’s decision to ratfuck the entire staff (union and non!) out of their livelihoods.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Unclear how the Quirk Books imprint under Andrews McMeel proposes to publish 20-25 books per year when every acquiring editor resigned or was laid off over the summer, shortly after unionizing.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
