Weeknotes – Editing Conference!
Summary: Less achieved overall this week compared to recent times, but that’s okay. Still good progress on all fronts. Monday: New client projects – hurrah! I spent the morning alternating between two nonfiction books – one about volunteering and one about coaching – and the RPG text corrections. I also edited a short piece […]
Finding the Good

Mind Over Matter
One of my main goals for 2024 was to finally join the CIEP and reach Professional level membership, at which point you get listed on the ‘approved editors’ directory, and may or may not get lots of great editing work… So far, it’s been going pretty well overall. To move from Entry level […]
