Excellent review! MT @EditorAM: Reader, writer, bookseller, publisher, & librarian: ebooks from each POV. ow.ly/b72kn 12:50 PM May 25th via web
Publishing as a business decision, stress and freelance #editing, stuff I've been thinking about: bit.ly/LzXRnz 10:19 AM May 25th via web
Closing up shop here to head to @ae_clinic's happy hour at @bluestarcafepub. See you there! 4:07 PM May 23rd via web
... I'm not quite sure if France will be able to keep up with Italy: 800 bridges in Venice alone, plus a bridge in Rome from 62 BC. 3:41 PM May 23rd via web
And edits to the Italy guidebook are in the mail to the publisher, hooray! Next up is France ... 3:39 PM May 23rd via web
Excellent fun: "Italy abridged"—an article (with photos of bridges!) from May of last year. italianicious.com.au/destination/vi… 3:38 PM May 23rd via web
.@emceereads, @ejedits, I'll see you there! MT @ae_clinic: Developmental #editing? #Seattle? Wed happy hour 5-7pm at @bluestarcafepub. 3:20 PM May 22nd via web
Might be my favorite: RT @libmaryann: Get thee to a librarian #replaceawordwithlibrarian 3:29 PM May 21st via web
Pay no attention to that librarian behind the curtain. The GREAT OZ has spoken! #replaceawordwithlibrarian 3:14 PM May 21st via web
I'm librarian, who are you? Are you librarian too? #replaceawordwithlibrarian (only in this case I'm not, really) 3:04 PM May 21st via web
A librarian is a device for making your enemy change his mind. (The Vor Game) #replaceawordwithlibrarian 2:14 PM May 21st via web
She got to it first: RT @EmApocalyptic: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my librarian. Prepare to die." #replaceawordwithlibrarian 1:21 PM May 21st via web
New client dropped off epic #sff manuscript for review -- and chocolate to go with it. Wow. 1:20 PM May 21st via web
@EmilyAlbarillo From Seattle to Hawaii to NY? Lovely. I grew up in California (redwoods), but happy to be in Seattle these 15 years. 10:56 AM May 21st via web in reply to EmilyAlbarillo
Ha! From @KOKEdit to @EmceeReads: I love the image of an editor breaking into song. :-) 10:54 AM May 21st via web
@EmceeReads You can listen to ballads while #editing? @kokedit just said she can't. I don't mind Beatles while #proofreading though. 9:51 AM May 21st via web in reply to EmceeReads
@EmilyAlbarillo I play flute, mostly baroque chamber music. Also used to work (& edit) for a contemporary chamber ensemble in Seattle. You? 9:50 AM May 21st via web in reply to EmilyAlbarillo
@EmilyAlbarillo @KOKEdit: But my favorites—baroque, Cuban, contemporary classical—will completely distract me from #editing. 9:48 AM May 21st via web
@EmilyAlbarillo @KOKEdit: Classical/opera, '60s rock, even bluegrass OK as background music, when working in cafes. #editing 9:47 AM May 21st via web
@EmilyAlbarillo @KOKEdit: Having played music for years, I can listen to music only during #proofreading or production tasks. 9:43 AM May 21st via web
