Join me and @cloviseditorial.bsky.social on Tuesday for a talk on editing speculative fiction!

We'll have an intro to all things spec fic and worldbuilding, and guidance on how to apply it all to all levels of #editing —all this with an inclusive fiction lens.

I can't get enough of this season 😍
Trees surrounding a pond on a bright autumn day. The sky is an intense blue with a perfect smattering of clouds. The tree leaves are shades of orange, yellow, and green. And the pond is reflecting it all.

I just threw out my shoulder hauling a huge pile of books on comics across the room just so I can answer questions about resources with "This book. Read this book."

I've got some other stuff to say about editing comics too. Stuff that hasn't hurt my shoulder—yet.

I didn't manage to capture the seal that just swam by as I looked up from my book—so here, have these flowers instead.
