Work Ethic
I’ve had a few conversations with friends recently about the unhelpful ways in which our brains work. I mean – why are brains, anyway…?

But also – how is it half way through February already??? Monday: I spent some time in the morning prepping for the Creative […]
Expansion
Looking back over the last four years of being a freelance editor, it’s interesting to think about how the scope of my business has changed. At first, I was taking any and all jobs anyone would throw my way, so there was a lot of short form content, blog posts, articles and books I […]
