I'm going to listen to that one again about four or five times!

Today from the IPNE Conference: New Word - "frienditor" There's a big difference between professional editing and having a friend look over your work. Friends are wonderful, but their service is better labeled as beta reading than editing. @ipne.org #booksky #author #editor #publishing #editing

Next up at #IPNECon26: @abigs.bsky.social ’s session, Emergency-Proofing Your Author or Publishing Business: ipne.org/emergency-pr... @ipne.org #publishing #writingcommunity #writing #amediting #freelanceeditor #selfpublishing #indieauthors #bookeditor

More cons are in our future! #Boskone was amazing and we sold 11 special editions and promoted the Book 1 audiobook, to be released in April by PaigeVox.com.

See you there!

After a terrific meeting with illustrator Dan Fiore, we dragged our author Anne Spielberg @anne49bsky.bsky.social through slush and mud to soak in some American history at Old North Bridge today. She was such a good sport! Anne's children's book, The Iceberg & The Penguin, is due out in 2027.
