      A day in the life of a professional fiction editor A day in the life of a professional fiction editor and author! I've seen other people do these and thought they looked fun, so here is mine! 📚

      I read this biography of Tolkien before Christmas I read this biography of Tolkien before Christmas and completely forgot to post about it, even though it inspired me SO much creatively. So much so I wrote an entire blog post about it. 

I love Tolkien's work, and his life is absolutely fascinating too. In short, this book taught me that experiences shape us not only as people but as writers too, and that community and friendship can be so important for creative growth. Tolkien was also heavily inspired by other works of art and literature and took the time to pause and learn from others. He wasn't afraid of feedback, either, often swapping work with his friends. 

I personally sometimes need the reminder to step back and refill my creative well with other works of art, even if it means a break from writing. 

If you want to read more of my ramblings on this book, I will link the blog post in my bio. 🔗

      Some ramblings on what I learned during seven year Some ramblings on what I learned during seven years of rejection and the long road to a book deal. I will never stop talking about this journey as I wholeheartedly believe in transparency and encouraging others. Are any of these relatable or surprising to you? 👀

      🤍❄️ January... frosty walks, snow, and editing my 🤍❄️ January... frosty walks, snow, and editing my next cat café book. Plus lots of editing projects for my lovely author clients. It was a difficult month as we lost our elderly cat, but we came out the other side intact.
      I put up a poll asking if you'd like to see some w I put up a poll asking if you'd like to see some writing, editing, and publishing posts informed by my career as an editor and a published author. You all answered with a resounding yes... so here's the first!

Editing can be confusing – lots of writers aren't taught about how it works. The confusion is 100% normal!

It doesn't help that the terminology can be so different (developmental editing is sometimes called structural editing). 

Editing happens in stages, and each stage has a specific focus. These are the three core ones a manuscript goes through before it becomes a published book. 📚🖊
