There are several feeds here on #BlueSky that are dedicated to #Editors and #Editing, including #FreelanceEditors. Sending out a well-worded request for rates, with a little description of your project, is a good start. You'll probably be besieged with responses.

Have you ever worked with an editor? What's a suggestion you got from one that really changed your book for the better? #WritingPrompt

Read this earlier today and couldn't believe it. It would be funny if it was a novel, but as real life? No thank you. This takes away human accountability ('my AI did it') and opens the door to more trolls.

I'm happy with my "Zootopia" fanfic universe for now, but it's been a month since I saw the sequel for the first time, and this micro-fic appeared in my brain last night. Another WildeHopps ship, of course.😊 (1/2) #writingcommunity #romanticfiction #fanfiction sites.google.com/maine.rr.com...

#WritingLifeMonthly Speaking of inspiration, here's something just for fun--if there're any "Zootopia" fans out there who would like to read my fanfiction, I created a site for it. Be advised that I'm a WildeHopps shipper.😊 But my writing is more sweet than spicy: sites.google.com/maine.rr.com...

This is a beautiful piece. It tugs at my heartstrings in two ways. As a romance editor (and fan of the genre, of course) it feels like the beginning of a novel. #BookEditor #writingcommunity (1/2)

Remember, the story you tell is yours. How you tell it belongs to the genre where you wish to sell it. Writing is a craft that takes many forms. You, as writer, have full choice in the craft aspect of writing. Choices are not random or without thought. #writingcommunity #booksky #writingcraft

I don't, either. The world is tough enough.♥️ #writingcommunity #BookEditor

If you're a #disabled #freelancer and have your own website: 1. Which host do you use? 2. Is it drag-and-drop, or is there coding involved? 3. If you use WordPress, do you find it easy to use? I'm considering switching from Google Sites, but don't know where to start.

AI's like a bar of soap; it can help you clean up your writing. But if you don't hire a human editor to rinse your manuscript well, it's bound to leave a sloppy residue behind. - hagoedco.com Romance #BookEditor & Proofreader who helps Indie authors fall in love with their words #writingcommunity

From the Desk of Professor Donald Harper Esteemed authors: Are you seeking a romance editor? If so, Hannah can help. She edited one of my favorite books-- “Daisy’s Keeper”. It’s four love stories in one! She had her hands full. Sincerely Yours, Prof. Harper #BookEditor #writingcommunity

Finding an #editor should not be like collecting blind bags. You should know exactly what you're getting. At HAGOEDCO, what you see is what you get: a word-loving editor. I self-published my own romance novel, and you can, too! - hagoedco.com #BookEditor #writingcommunity

I'm sorry I doubted you, Mia. As someone who used to work in tech, I'm sick of AI. If not for the fact that I personally know some people doing good with it, I might quit social media altogether. #BookEditor #writingcommunity

Some of us offer flat rates, too. (🙋‍♀️) But this is certainly a valuable tool. (I'm not affiliated, however.) #BookEditor #writingcommunity

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

An interesting op-ed. The author's concerns are all valid. In my opinion, they miss an important distinction: not being liked is not the same as being disrespected to the point of fear. I don't care if Trump likes me--I care that he chooses to act out of contempt. www.nytimes.com/2017/02/15/o...

Ranking Disney Princesses from favorite to least favorite (my opinion): 1. Cinderella 2. Tiana 3. Belle 4. Jasmine 5. Rapunzel 6. Pocahontas 7. Aurora 8. Snow White 9. Merida 10. Ariel 11. Mulan 12. Moana 13. Raya

‘Rage’ and ‘outrage’ aren’t etymologically related. ‘Rage’ is from the Latin ‘rabere’ (to be mad). ‘Outrage’ is from Anglo-French ‘utrage’ (insult), from Latin 'ultra' (beyond). We hope this doesn’t make you mad.

'The editor did it.' No, that's not a line in a horror novel--but it is the implication in this article about one. So sad. Not sure who I believe, but it sounds like the author fell for a scam. Vet your editors. #BookEditing #writingcommunity www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/b...

Where does one find editors, proofreaders and beta readers around here? 👀👀 I’m an a indie author who finally decided to use social media ✨✨ #book #writingcommunity #writer #romance #queer.

. . . it's NOT my writing, and it's NOT my job to change what they wrote, just to polish it! I don't want to take anything away from their creation. In fact, my name appears nowhere in their books (if I can help it). 2/2

I'm not sure what it will take to make the writing world see that editors are not the enemy! We just want to make sure their books the very best they can be. I spend a lot of time reassuring my clients that it's NOT my book, . . . 1/2

Being edited is hard, even--no, especially--when you want to self-publish your manuscript. But we editors are on your side. #BookEditor #writingcommunity

Any writers out there have a headcanon that they're friends with one or more of their characters? I need to know I'm not on an ego trip.😅 #writingcommunity #BookEditor

A person who's skilled at writing is a 'wordsmith'. So is are editors and others who work with manuscripts "booksmiths"? Honest question. #BookEditor #writingcommunity

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Silly hypothetical for those of us who feel we torment our characters a bit! Your characters have broken the fourth wall and know you are responsible for everything that happens to them. How do they react? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters How persistent/determined/stubborn is your character? Do they pursue their goals long past the point of reason? Give up too easily? Strike a balance? Does it depend what they are trying to do? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Is your character imaginative? Are they prone to flights of fancy or daydreams? Do they imagine pleasant possibilities or terrifying ones? Does it ever get them in to trouble? Or help them in tough times? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I also regret nothing I write. Writing should be fun! Hire an editor to do the tough stuff.

Agreed! I don't have clients at the moment, so my recent illness was less stressful, but health comes first no matter what. I believe that working while sick shortchanges yourself and your clients.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Well, that was interesting... 🤔 I had two sicknesses back-to-back.🙃 But now I'm here and feeling great! I'm ready for a good edit--how about you? - hagoedco.com Helping indie authors fall in love with their words! #BookEditor #writingcommunity

As an author, I have two beliefs: 1. Writing is a deeply personal act. 2. None of it should go to waste. (1/2)

Couldn't have said it better myself! 😊

Be careful what you wish for...I found '1 like =1 answer's that made me blush. They were personal and not genre-based. This is as personal as I'll get. I'll be boring to most people; that just means I spend a lot of time with words, as an editor should. Credit: @mithmeoi.bsky.social

I was hoping for a #romancegenre -themed one of these, but this'll do. Gotta start somewhere. 1 like= 1 answer #1like1answer

I'm trying to find '1 like =1 answer' prompts about the romance genre. Anyone have some good ones? #writingcommunity #romancelandia #writingq #writingprompts
