Long Time — No Write

Well, in the words of the little shrimp, Jacques, in Finding Nemo, “I am ashamed.”

Alas, we are approaching the end of a year – much quicker than I preferred – and I have vowed to be better in the coming year with our confabulations.

A few things that I have in the works include the following:

  • The Power Within Boredom
  • The Different Types of Editors and How to Decide Which One You Need
  • Preparing Your Manuscript for Editing
  • A Self-Edit Checklist

And much more.

I would welcome any suggestions of what you would like to hear from an editor. I am even willing to touch on subjects that may not be out there yet.  Just hit me up.

2018 was very fruitful. I gained friends, peers, and clients.  Each have enriched my life in ways that only their unique perspectives could. I feel that 2019 will bring many more challenges and blessings, and I do look forward to tackling each one.

Additionally, I am very excited for the upcoming year and what is in store for each of you. I wish you all the best New Year.
In the mean time, I would hope that if you need some more customized help with your work, feel free to contact me at www.EditsByStacey.com.
