I've taken an incredible class on #book_formatting two weeks ago (which I'll soon be adding to my services 😊) and I think this book is a perfect accompanying read! #amwriting #amediting #picturebooks #fantasyromance #indieauthors

Great post on how to proceed when you receive feedback from your editor. I want to add: a good edit explains the problem and why it is one, then offers a solution. Like: No worries, it can be solved, you're not alone in this. It's a suggestion to help you find the solution that's right for you. 💕

Uh-oh. Your beta reader or agent or editor just dropped several pages of notes, ideas and‘minor tweaks’ on you. What the hell do you do now? Here's a blog post with a few ideas based on my experience over the last couple of years.

Reskeet with a quote from a movie/show that's actually good advice.

I can't believe that after all those years we get to visit the inkworld again! Utter happiness! (And a surprise because it's been literally years since I I pre-ordered this book and had totally forgotten about it.)

Winter is coming... Enjoying the warm and sunny days while they last with the editorial assistant. #stetwalk #amediting

I love these types of questions from prospective authors. And if the editor you’re talking to hedges or avoids these questions? Maybe they’re not the right editor or press for you. 📷 Laura Portwood-Stacer, @manuscriptworks #amediting #academicediting #academiceditor #scholarlybookpublishing

There are 108 days left to 2023. If you write an average of 740 words a day, you’ll have an 80,000 word book by the end of the year. Some days you can write more, some you can write less, some not at all. The point is, it’s feasible. Write on!

Customizing my new calendar! Please don't hate me for ripping out months Sep.-Dec.23, I need a 12 month calendar. 🙈😅 Making good use of the comic strips though by pinning them on the info board at my day job, so more people get to enjoy them. :) #amediting #WritingCommunity #Sarah'sscribbles
