I’ve just booked an online place for #CIEP2023 (Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading conference) with hours to spare till the deadline. 😬

I may not be able to join in the whole thing live but hoping to catch up with some of you #edibuddies there, from here or wherever!

Hey, fellow freelance editorial peeps. Is #EditorSprint still a thing? Could it be again, once a week maybe?

No phones. No socials. Just focus for one hour. Comment with your goal beforehand, and check back in after to see how it went.

Anyone in?

A big hello to you both. I’m an indexer and editor too. Agreed you’ll find many editors on the hashtags #AmEditing #edibuddies #editing #EditorsOfMastodon, and you can tag and read the @edibuddies account. Also check out the lovely #StetWalk and @stetwalk. And if you’d like to locate some book indexers as well, we’re the #indexodon.

I’ll be back over here more now (for reasons) so here’s a brief re-#introduction.
I’m a UK freelance book indexer and editor on arts/humanities books for authors and publishers. I’m also a new cryptic crossword setter and a Welsh learner. I like dancing, laughing, music and pubs, often in combination.
Hashtags of interest include #crosswords #CrypticCrosswords #Cymraeg #DysguCymraeg #edibuddies #editing #indexing #indexodon
Happy to chat to decent folks both old and new to me. So hello/helô!

@erinkmaher Yes I did, lol! (It's a little strange, being here and trying to figure out where the other #edibuddies have gone.)

Interesting article by Allison K. Williams on Jane Friedman's blog.

Your Novel Has Been Edited by Top Professionals but You Still Get Rejected. What Gives?

This raises some intriguing questions about the types of editors available and the author's ability/willingness to implement needed changes. Are you working with the RIGHT editor? Was the project ever going to be marketable in the first place?

Things I miss from working on paper manuscripts:

-Oversized rubber bands
-The smell of freshly sharpened pencils
-Flipping through the pages
-Archiving the page proofs in large boxes when the project was done

Things I don't miss:

-Dry hands
-Paper cuts
-Emptying pencil sharpeners
-Never finding that one misspelling I was sure I saw while flipping through the pages
