A tedious but still amusing moment in being an editor: Going back through 30 previous books to see if there's a precedent for how to format/style/hyphenate "mindfuck". #EditorLife #AmEditing

Rainy day reading

If you're queer and into horror, you might find this book just as validating as I do.

Note to reviewers: whenever you are given an MS to review that is a blizzard of numbers and models, or convoluted rhetoric that you do not fully understand. Do not assume that you are the problem. Assume the problem is with the manuscript until proved otherwise. #academia #EditorLife

Just spent a few minutes (honest, it didn't take long) making old-fashioned deletion marks through the Twitter handle on my business cards.

I'm not there

anymore save as a placeholder to keep anyone else from grabbing the username.

This is home, now.

I did, however, decide that hand-writing my Masto handle on 250 cards was above and beyond and not worth my time. The next batch I order will be fully updated. #EditorLife #ACESEvolve #SeeYouThere

What is taking so long for you to get a decision back to me on this manuscript?
But don't send rejection letters on weekends. Or Fridays. Or holidays Or in the evenings. But faster than you are doing it.

"A transformation in scientific publishing to open-ended and stackable publications instead of multiple papers for each research direction."

Honestly, I appreciate the concept! #Chemiverse #EditorLife https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-023-01489-1

I like this special issue. It's really good. The first of two issues on School psychology and Indigenous People.

Just a reminder that calling a study "exploratory" or "pilot" is not an adequate excuse for an inadequate research design. #EditorLife

Editing thoughts this morning- peer review should be a helpful, collaborative process whereby the reviews themselves are a part of the conversation--not the be-all and end-all--on how and whether to move forward with a book. It's an editor's responsibility to help new authors understand the role of peer review in academic book publishing, demystify it, and make it seem just a bit less scary.
