Tomorrow night in Philly! I'll join a panel at the American Philosophical Society to discuss developmental editing: what it is, when it happens in a manuscript workflow, how to find an editor or a client, and advice for writers and editors. Looking forward to it!

Y'all, Cory Booker is doing an old-school, Mr.-Smith filibuster on the Senate floor (14 hours and counting) to amplify the crisis in America right now. It's magnificent. We need more of our elected officials to do something like this.

Hi friends! I had fun talking with Therese Brown of the Association of Catholic Publishers about self-publishing scams and how to spot them. The video is here. Enjoy!

The cat distribution system seems to have decided we need a 3rd cat. Rescued this little dude yesterday on a major road in rush hour when I saw him darting between moving cars. Vet says he's 6 weeks old and in good health for a stray of this age. (Two rescue groups are pretty sure they picked up 4 of his littermates last week.)

Assuming he tests negative for all cat viruses, he's already a foster fail, ha.

My kiddo has already named him Flamekit, because #warriorcats. #iykyk

Congratulations to Marylynn Wesson! Her book "Building a Firm Foundation: An Invitation to Parents of Children Preparing for Sacraments" — published by OSV — recently won two prizes:

* Association for Catholic Publishers 2024 Excellence in Publishing Awards, "Resources for Ministry": 1st place

I was honored to support Marylynn's work on this book as a contract developmental editor for OSV!

Had SO MUCH FUN teaching 4th graders about my work as an editor at Career Day today. Watching their eyes bug out when I introduced this example was worth the raspy voice by the end of 90 minutes.
