Heck yes. I've had an influx of high-word-count requests come in wanting to start within a couple of weeks (or worse: wanting to be DONE within a few weeks). Editing takes time, so we often book out a bit. If there's an editor (or other professional) you know you want to work with, ask early!

I’m Regina Brooks, President of the Association of American Literary Agents and CEO of Serendipity Literary Agency. I am so excited to invite you to the very first People of Publishing Conference (peopleofpublishing.bsky.social), happening Sept 17th at the New York Academy of Medicine in NYC.

There's nothing quite like working on client manuscripts with Larry at my feet making happy honking sounds. #editing #mansbestfriend #bunnyluv #workfromhutch #kidlit
