Here’s another grammar refresh! This time let's talk about clauses and phrases. Clauses and phrases are the foundational structures of a sentence. Clauses have a subject and verb, while phrases do not. 1/4 #editor #amediting #writingcommunity

💜🐻 HAPPY RELEASE DAY to my cozy, sapphic romance novella!! 🥳🥳 A lonely bear stuck in a cycle of grief gets a new chance of love and companionship when she accidentally mortally wounds a woman who just wanted to make sure everyone was alright. Link and more info 👇 📚💙

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

Advice to all writers from my most fucked up character.

Happy #NationalPoetryMonth! Are you a #poet trying to publish your poetry book? As a freelance #poetry editor, I work with poets to refine, design, and #selfpublish their poetry #chapbooks and manuscripts: carolinavonkampen.com/poetry-editi... #poets #amediting #freelanceeditor #writersky #poem

So excited to have my story “Somatic” in the upcoming anthology NEED! Look at that lineup! 🖤🎉

As an editor, it’s important to understand genre conventions. A style choice that flies in fantasy might not work in literary fiction or nonfiction. #editor #amediting #writingcommunity

There are some good tips here for the #WritingCommunity! 13 fiction book marketing tips from an experienced novelist buildbookbuzz.com/13-fiction-b...

A list to help you find sapphic science fiction and fantasy books you might not have known about from independent authors. I've limited the selections to one book per author to maximize the number of authors on the list. 🌈📚

I’m a huge sucker for The Power of Friendship 😅

Why are hyphens important, you may ask? Check this out: Rundown (noun): "Give me a rundown of what happened at the meeting." Run-down (adjective): "The run-down building is being demolished." Run down (verb phrase): "My bike was run down by the huge truck." #editor #amediting #writingcommunity

I need you to know that one of the best things you can do for an author you love is to talk about their books. This post popped up in r/cozyfantasy this week, and I had one of the best sales weeks I've had in a while. Likely because of this post. If there's a book you love, shout about it.

I regret to report that 2026’s mood did not (and likely will not) improve from here 👇

So, friends… would you all be interested in reading more fantasy, science fiction, and horror by Palestinian writers? Lmk. 🍉✨

Are you an author getting ready to publish? I’m a copyeditor and proofreader who would love to help polish your manuscript so it’s ready to share with the world! I edit a variety of genres and my editing is encouraging and easy to follow. Feel free to contact me for more info! deepsparkediting.com

I love hearing what my clients think of my edits. 🥰 It’s so validating to know that my work has been helpful to them. And even if it's critical, I can only get better if I’m aware of what I can improve on. Just like how critiques can help a writer improve their craft! #editor #writingcommunity

I'm putting together a post of indie and self-published SFF by trans and non-binary authors if anyone would like to be added! (If I miss you for the post, I can also add you to my LGBTQIA+ collection!)

Indie and small press Authors! I'm Kay, a small Blogger who focuses on Indie books and Small Press Authors! I am helping out to build databases of indie books that are easily shareable and searchable! Please!! If you have any books out see form below! (NO GEN AI IMAGES OR CONTENT) Repost

I want to make myself clear: I see people getting what they think is genuine enjoyment and productivity out of genAI, and while I think that’s sad and empty and self-destructive and false, it’s the steep costs of genAI’s use for everyone else that is my real problem with it.

Now just 2 days away! If you're specifically looking for sapphic sci fi, fantasy, and horror featuring trans and non-binary lesbians, I got a list. #trr #TransRightsReadathon #tdov 📚🌈

"I was six years old the first time Mom threatened to sew my mouth shut." -Royal quadruplets fighting for a throne -Swords w thyroid batteries -Cyborg horses -Muscle Memory Injections -Contagious ghosts -Kaiju skeleton castles ebook - geni.us/tfiati audio - geni.us/tfiatiaudio

While copyediting I often ask myself, “Why am I making this change?” I want to figure out the style or grammar rule that backs up my decision to make sure I can support the change I’m making, so I know I'm not just making a change to my personal preference. #editor #amediting #writingcommunity

Thursday is Thorsday! Not posted this one in a while, my THUNDERER poster in original, bifrost and black/gold variants! My take on Thor's fight against Hrungnir the stone giant. available at @posterspy.com - posterspy.com/store/produc...

Thinking a lot today about how reading rates are dropping (despite all the studies that reading is really good for people), writers are struggling to survive, and publishing companies keep consolidating into bigger, more vicious conglomerates. It's an ugly, massive Gordian knot.

Affect vs effect: How do you know which one to use? This is a classic mix-up. The easiest way to remember is that “affect” is a generally a verb (This cold is affecting me) and “effect” is usually a noun (the effect of the cold). #editor #amediting #writingcommunity

I am going offline as much as I can today. Existing while trans right now is exhausting. I hurt so much. Please consider checking out my books/stickers/etc. I love my writing and want to do more of it. ko-fi.com/anotherindie...

So if you (like me) are incredibly sad / mad / furious about Kansas stripping trans people of rights with no notice, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline. www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

PSA to my fellow Zoom users -- it's automatically turned on a bunch of A.I. features without asking you✌️ to turn all 32 of them off, go to "Settings" --> "My Account" --> "View advanced features" it'll open up your browser and list a SHITTON of A.I. features, many of which will be on (scroll!)

I self published my short story "To Be Merciful; or, Light After Darkness" on my Patreon in 2025, and it is free to read now and I hope people will read (and maybe nominate?) it www.patreon.com/posts/to-be-...
