I have some openings in my editing calendar. I do mainly developmental edits, and work with novellas and novels in a variety of genres and categories. I don't use AI for any of it. More info here: www.kathowardbooks.com/editing and always happy to answer questions.

I know how tempting it is to play designer, especially if it’s an enjoyable distraction from the writing. Why you should resist, from @sandrawendeleditor.bsky.social and @paulnylander.bsky.social.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Jane Yolen was an absolutely lovely human and also an almost absurdly talented writer. It's wonderful when both things are wrapped up in the same person. I considered her a friend and a colleague, and I will miss her. Condolences to the each of the many of us who knew her. Her memory is a blessing.

My mother, the inimitable Jane Yolen passed away this morning after a blessingly short fight with Alzheimer’s. She did not suffer, and went peacefully into the ether which, I am certain for her, will be filled with words of the most exquisite beauty and meaning.

If you'd pay a plumber, fucking pay a poet.
