Now taking bookings for January! If you want to make a cracking start to 2026 by having your book edited, look no further! I've not quite reached the giddy rockstar heights of taking bookings a year in advance yet, but I'm feeling pretty good about this. #editing #editors #writing #writers

@nationaltrust.org.uk is inviting people and groups to submit ideas for artworks fashioned from the Sycamore Gap tree from 13 October to 17 November. Those shortlisted will receive five grand towards costs.

Brought this beauty in from the cold! #ukgardening #gardeninguk #ukautumn

I thought I was gonna be all accomplished today replacing a broken fence panel. I even thought I did quite a decent job in slightly adverse circumstances … then I stand back and realise I put the bastard lap panel on upside down! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂😂

All ready for me to install - and now it’s raining. 🤦🏻‍♀️🌧️#ukautumn #britishweather

Saw a rainbow today! #ukautumn

Today in things I didn't expect to be putting on the style sheet under T: 'TwatWorld (output: Twats)'. #amediting #ilovemyjob

Now taking bookings for NOVEMBER! Go on, get that editing done before Christmas so you can relax and enjoy the glow of a brilliant book written by you! #amediting #ilovemyjob #editor

Beautiful Erewash canal this evening. #stetwalk

Walking down the street today, I found a lovely rock. (That sounds rather like it should be the first line of a poem! Any takers?) #randomstones #pebbles #rocks

My next read! #echolands #boudica #duncanmackay

Some of today’s healthy stirfry ingredients.

"Oooh, that's a substantial length! I'm not sure I can fit it in" -- today, in responses I didn't expect to be giving to a client ... #amediting #ilovemyjob

Nature is gearing up.

I love pangolins. That will be all.

In this weather you can’t beat a BritMex picky tea. #uksummer #cooking #homecooking

Got my 100 days in German! #duolingo

Mum got me these for my birthday! (And yes, I’m fully aware that my fence needs some serious attention! 🙈) #ukgardening #gardening #gardenornaments

My next read! I’ve had this in my queue for so long, because it looks right up my alley! I’ve just finished ‘A Man Called Ove’, which I forgot to take a photo of. #dungeoncrawlercarl #mattdinniman

I’ve done lots of inexplicable art born of toil and bulbous thought. Much of it, shockingly, is still available. Please share this post or you know, buy my art. It’s really much better when it happens than when it doesn’t. www.chloecumming.com

I PROMISE you it is better for your activist flyer or pamphlet or website to have bad art, rather than AI art. People correctly see the usage of AI generated art or text as a betrayal of the laborers who the owners of this technology seek to replace. Are you for the bosses or the workers?

Mum got me this in unfoldable card form for my birthday and insisted I put it up somewhere. So here it is! #ilovemyjob #wfhuk #motivationalposter

@zoerogerswrites.bsky.social : my daughter (8) LOVED Junior Agent Jack and the Coronation Chaos! Now I have to get her book 2 for her birthday! 😀

Such an English plantscape! #BennerleyViaduct #ErewashCanal

Mum got me this T-shirt for my birthday and I’m sure the ‘your next’ is an ironic nod to my profession 😂 #proofreading #proofreader

Couple of holiday pics. #Northumberland

Back at work! Current projects: business book (dev and line editing), horror (manuscript assessment), fantasy (Golem Master 3!), and two thrillers, including one that needs some more intensive work on POV, involving rewriting. So it’s quite a full plate! Coffee incoming 🤓☕️🖍️ #editing #ilovemyjob

I mean just look at that. Magnificent. #Bamburgh #BamburghCastle #Northumberland #Bebbanburg

I’m taking part in an open gardens today!

The other day I was surprised yet again by this lush illustrated copy of The Odes of Orbyz from Tomorrowland Press as a thank-you for proofreading a very small part of the book! (The ‘brief history’ and glossary.) How beautiful is this?! #editing #proofreading #proofreader #tomorrowland #ilovemyjob

I received this haul of amazing goodies from my lovely client TJ Lombardi! 😍 #editor #ilovemyjob

Delighted to announce the release of Mission 3: Junior Agent Jack and the Missing Scientist www.amazon.co.uk/Junior-Agent... Big thanks to @elspells13.bsky.social @catherinedunn.bsky.social

Bought this book for my daughter and she was so stoked to see me in the acknowledgements as copyeditor! 😀 Also it’s nice to see my clients getting listed for awards and things 😊 #copyediting #ilovemyjob

Beautiful but poisonous #deadlynightshade

When your basketball gets stuck between the rim and the backboard … sometimes you have to improvise. That biggest tyre was almost as tall as me stood on its side. There was me flipping it, doing my strongman act 💪🏻 rolled it underneath and realised I couldn’t fully lift the second-biggest argh

New tree! Now, can I keep it alive? #salixintegra #gardening

The books I had to clean vomit off last night 🤢
