I've got a small gap coming up between editing projects. If you write speculative fiction/YA/MG/outdoors lit this would be a great time to get in touch for a manuscript critique or a shorter edit/proofread with a quick turnaround! www.lexicalpeaks.com #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #amwritingfantasy #writersofmastodon
Today's library haul - looking forward to reading these! And the library kindly agreed to let me leave a stack of business cards on the desk which meant it was technically a work outing. #AmReading #booksmstodon
Not saying it's cold but I just uncovered the heater airer to check on the laundry and found one guilty cat inside.

Things only writers get excited about: I had a rejection from (rather optimistic) submission to a literary mag but it was a really positive rejection and I'm really happy about it!!

My husband's away so I am living my best life: in bed with a good book and some fancy chocolate biscuits at 8.45pm on a Friday.
Enjoyed a super calming sunset swim today. I started swimming regularly just because I loved being in the sea, but this week I've really appreciated the meditative nature of cold water - of enjoying the sensation and focusing on keeping my breathing calm. So grateful to live right by the sea!

Having a brilliant time at #KendalMountainFestival. I went to the Nature Chronicles Award Ceremony last night and was so inspired and encouraged by the excerpts read. Can't wait to read the collection of shortlisted essays!

Hello Mastodon! Thought it was about time I did an #introduction post.

I'm Philippa, a freelance #editor and proofreader for outdoors literature and #speculative_fiction. I live in Snowdonia, and if I'm not working or reading, I'm generally outdoors - either in the sea, or #climbing or running or skiing in the mountains.

Looking forward to getting involved with the #writingcommunity on here!
