Something awry with today’s Observer newspaper. A Q&A with Rowetta (Manchester singer with Happy Mondays etc.) seemingly published with the answers from actor Mathew Horne. Rowetta gains a Norwegian wife, a baby son, and (most unlikely of all) a love of Tottenham Hotspur FC.
Folks who work on very long docs in Word using Comments: Is there anything I need to look out for? I’m about to start the longest project I’ve ever done in Word specifically and am slightly concerned I’ll get partway through & somehow explode the document. Wisdom? @edibuddies#edibuddies@editors#AmEditing
It’s day 1 of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) 2023 hybrid conference in Glasgow and online. I’ll be there (on and off) virtually so hope to say hello. Follow the #CIEP2023 hashtag here or on your chosen platform of the many. Laters, #edibuddies!
Editing is a human skill, one that by necessity needs an iterative process between humans. AI isn't capable of that to the degree needed to produce a quality result. A professional editor is worth their weight in gold, esp for those who want professional copy. #AmEditing#Edibuddies#Editing#EditorsOfMastodon
Hello! My friend @JanetWordsmith and I are looking for Mastodon's editing community.
Kind and lovely (and happy) folks who raise an eyebrow at participles that dangle, splicing commas, verbs that don't align with subjects, (etc) while keeping the writer's voice.
Apart from people, are there instances or hashtags to follow?
#Fediverse#writingcommunity,#writers, #editor, Literary Agents, Publishing houses, magazines, poetry anthologies, Editors ... Are you on Mastodon? If so, please comment and boost.
What hash tags do you use? How can we best find all of you? How do you hook up with writers? Are you using Mastodon to find writers?
We are looking to make a collection of agents, publishers, editors for use by writers on Mastodon. Can you help? Leave a response below. THANKS.
@gg I'm an editor! I use #AmEditing, #Edibuddies, and the group @edibuddies, as well as genre-specific hashtags and groups (I'm a romance nerd primarily). There are loads of very cool professionals here :)
I’ll be back over here more now (for reasons) so here’s a brief re-#introduction.
I’m a UK freelance book indexer and editor on arts/humanities books for authors and publishers. I’m also a new cryptic crossword setter and a Welsh learner. I like dancing, laughing, music and pubs, often in combination.
Hashtags of interest include #crosswords#CrypticCrosswords#Cymraeg#DysguCymraeg#edibuddies#editing#indexing#indexodon
Happy to chat to decent folks both old and new to me. So hello/helô!
Do you work with academic authors who use LaTeX? Have you had to turn them away because you don’t know LaTeX or aren’t comfortable working with it? Do you edit in LaTeX by moving the document to Microsoft Word?
If you answered yes to any of those, this course is for you.
The other day, I posted a poll about styling the noun "worldbuilding." My thanks to the 25 people who participated. Here are the results:
60% of responders, like me, prefer "worldbuilding."
24% prefer "world-building."
16% prefer "world building."
I suspect "worldbuilding" is most common among the general #WritingCommunity, RPG game masters, and other storytellers. Wikipedia uses this variation, too. (1/2)
