Renewed my subscription for website host this morning. I'm thinking of a new direction to take my business in 2025. I just need to come up with a practical roadmap to make it work. #Ilovemyjob!

The hardest part about sending a letter of agreement to a potential client is waitiing for their response. #amediting

Looks like a great beginning to a new week. A potential client let me know that they are sending the down payment to hold a space on my calendar. I'm also writing a letter of agreement to send to a children's author.

I'm a freelance editor and book coach.

#amediting I've been a freelance editor for more than eighteen years and Im also a writing coach.

I tried my hand at making a granny square over the weekend. I was successful thanks to a great video & easy to follow instructions. The hardest part was making the magic circle. I'm looking for an easy granny square afghan pattern. Trying to wrap my head around making the same square over & over.

Finished editing a children's middle-grade fiction on cyberbullying, stereotypes, hate, and anger a week ago. I read the manuscript twice as part of the editing process and liked it each time. I learned a lot obout different cultures. It was funny, educational, and intense. I love my job!

I'm talking to a local author about editing their manuscript about their family history and their connection to the indigenous people in Colorado Springs and Colorado. I'm looking forward to the project and I'm taking the setbacks in stride.

Excited to discover today that The Women by Kristin Hannah made Amazon's 2024 Best Books List. It's #4 on the list. It's about the role women played during the Vietnam War. It's a great read!

Hi Nat. Getting the first job is hard.
1. Make a list of publishers you want to work with.
2. Find out who their managing editors or production editors are. Get contact information.
3. Draft a great query letter.
4. Send emails to intended managing editors or production editors.
6. Don't give up.

Looking into BookTok. It's interesting how authors market their books.

I'm once again crocheting for nonprofits in need. It's been a long time,.but it does my heart good to make something that might be useful to others.

Sometimes I take it for granted that the authors I work with know all about the Track Changes function in Word. Today I was reminded that isn't the case.

I'm always learning how to better help my clients. I'm learning about how to market yourself fom blog posts on marketing. I'm trying to learn about mototcycles and would love to learn how to draw, but don't think that will happen. I'm also always reading and learning how to make sourdough bread.

Learning all about Bluesky.
