IF you are a fiction writer, especially of genre fiction, and

IF you would like to work with a professional editor who eschews the use of AI for writing or editing, and

IF you have a final draft sitting somewhere, that's been read by your trusted team of beta readers (you do have beta readers, don't you?), whether it's a short story or a 150K-word novel,

THEN

I might be the editor you're looking for. My specialties are SF/F, historical, horror, thriller, action/adventure, and weird (think William Hope Hodgson, Lovecraft, Blackwood, etc.). It's horror but not pure. It's . . . weird.

Yes, I'm mostly retired, but I'm not gone. I'd love to work with the right client! I've edited for clients around the world, so no worries if you're not in the US (I envy you, these days).

Maybe that is you.

To make connections: name things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags that are searchable. Then boost/repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

4 days left to nominate books, stories, poems, music, video, fanfic, social media posts, or any other form of #SpeculativeFiction for this year's Otherwise Award jury.

Anyone can make a recommendation, and it's fine to nominate your own work.

Hello! 👋 It’s time for an updated #Introduction because I’ve just moved instances to beige.party (I was formerly @brianlavelle) - any boosts would be most welcome!

I’m Brian, and I’ve been a #Fediverse dweller since April 2022. This is my only social media…er, medium.

In no particular order, I quite like:
#ImprovisedMusic & #ExperimentalMusic
#FieldRecording
#Cats (I have two)
#TTRPG (I have too many)
#Tea
#Meditation
#Books #Poetry & #SpeculativeFiction
#Trees & #Walking (but not #WalkingTrees)
#Modernism & #Brutalism
#SelfHosting & #FOSS
#AltText & #PascalCase / #CamelCase
& lots more
