- A book I copyedited is out in the world! 👏 Congrats to Ariel Ruthanne! Silhouetted is the first book in Ruthanne's trilogy, Mortal Sins & Immortal Sinners—a dark #urbanfantasy where crime intertwines with the #supernatural. www.arielruthanne.com/silhouetted #booksky #amediting #writingcommunity
- This is a fantastic article for #FictionWriters to spend some time with! I love the section about the balance between dialogue, physical action, and interiority—getting that ratio right in your scenes takes practice. janefriedman.com/the-art-of-c... #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity
- Finally braved the snow and picked up my copy of @stephenfishbach.bsky.social's #novel, Escape!, from @leftbankbooks.bsky.social! #Survivor fans, this one’s for you—it’s a #book about #realityTV, and it’s by Stephen Fishbach of Survivor: Tocantins and #RHAP Know-It-Alls fame! #booksky #shopindie

- It’s a short book at 97 pages, but the prose, mood, and intense characterization of Such Small Hands by Andrés Barba gripped me long after I put it down. carolinavonkampen.com/such-small-h... #booksky #books #AndrésBarba #SuchSmallHands #SmallPress #TranslatedLit #SpanishLiterature

- "Is my book ready?” You’ve worked endless hours writing and revising your book. It can be hard to know when your book is finally ready to #query to agents or #selfpublish. A #ManuscriptEvaluation can help. Contact me to book your manuscript evaluation today.
- "Think of dialogue scenes as having three main modes: ✅ Dialogue (what characters say) ✅ Action/Description (what characters do and see) ✅ Interiority (what characters think) "You need all three, but the ratios matter enormously." janefriedman.com/the-art-of-c... #fiction #amwriting #revising
- Copyediting a book is not merely running a spellcheck or reading the book. A book #copyedit involves a lot more than that! I break down my #book #copyediting process step-by-step so you see what I’m actually doing with your manuscript: carolinavonkampen.com/book-copyedi... #bookeditor #authors
