A post it on a green background reads "copy edit: 140,000-word romantasy novel done"
Another #CopyEdit done! Next up: a stylistic edit on a supernatural fantasy novel ✒️
Cover of book with sepia photograph of Crested Butte (the mountain), aspen forest, dirt road, and wooden fencing and barn
I indulged in this schmaltz to benefit www.rmbl.org. It has a photograph taken from Gothic (north of Crested Butte) depicting the nose of the mountain pointing left, thus reversed horizontally (the cover is correct). #copyedit
