The Red Pencil Conference owes me nothing. I gave a well-received talk on some of the best practices from my book, The Copy Editor’s (Life)Style Guide. It was wonderful catching up with old editor friends and getting to know new ones in Lynnwood as a presenter. #EdsGuild2025 #RedPencil2025

Another fun L.A. edibuddies meetup where Karen received her replacement 2017 Robinson Prize crystal award (courtesy of ACES: The Society for Editing) since she lost hers in the fires. We had way too much fun finding many ridiculous typos on the menus! The restaurant needs a copyeditor! 🙄
Looking forward to participating in this professional development speaker series for teens.

This is definitely a special one. In many ways, I’m happier, more confident, and more at peace than I’ve ever been…both personally and professionally.
Happy birthday to me.

One year ago today, I publicly announced the release of my first book, “The Copy Editor’s (Life)Style Guide.” I’m grateful to everyone who purchased a copy or told someone about it.
This project was a landmark moment in my 20-year editing career.
Paperback and e-book editions available on Amazon.
Thanks for the great interview, and I’m glad we were able to connect at ACES!
The latest episode is out! I had the opportunity to interview @acesediting.bsky.social president @h-e-saunders.bsky.social and Robinson Prize winner @jamaaldpittman.bsky.social. Check it out!
