I think a lot about storytelling, visual and written, and story structure.
I edit personal essays for students and spec fic for novice writers.

Also keen on yoga therapy, escape rooms, and science volunteering.

A year ago, I proposed making a web ring for independent presses! And - tada! The Indie Press Webring connects independent publishing houses. We're small, and we need your help spreading the word so we can grow.

Readers and Press folks alike, check it out: indiepresswebring.com

This is a bit random and yet quite specific: do I know any un- or under-employed (current or former) freelance book review assigning editors?? Do you??

If so, respond or tag someone.

I have a dream, an impossible dream maybe, but a dream no less.

My belief: The work of ALL authors of literary fiction - no matter how experienced - benefits from a good editor.

My simultaneous belief: The work of authors of literary fiction NEVER benefits from creative decisions being led by a focus on sales and marketing.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.

Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.

Illustration of an albatross pressing its weight down on a curled-up person, its huge wings closing in on them. The person has long dark hair that curls around them, around the albatross' feet, and tangles around the albatross' body. The person is surrounded by corals, seashells, and forget-me-not flowers. Comic page from my short horror comic, The Hue of Heaven. Cassandra, a disabled Black teenager housed in the Cardinal's supposedly-altruistic home for sick and disabled youth, anxiously wonders where her friend Antonio has been taken after the surgery that would cure him. She encounters the Cardinal on a walk and asks him if Antonio is walking. The page is tense and chilly, emphasizing the distrust Cassandra has for the Cardinal. Illustration in limited color showing various vignettes of people engaging in fun summer activities, like going to a concert, but they are all unmasked. A figure in the center is isolated in a dark void, ignored by the other figures. The central figure is the only one masking Photo of three needle felted little mushroom creatures in a line. The first has a square green cap and a surprised face. The second has a golden round cap and a smiling face. The third has a pink gilled cap and a blushing face. What you don't see in the photo is that all three have big booty cheeks.
