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.

#writerscoffeeclub Dec 30. How much would writing by another means (by hand, digitally, audio transcription) change your prose?

All my full length novel manuscripts have been written using MS Word. I probably wouldn't be able to write without the ability to move text around and delete/insert text as required.

#WordWeavers 4/12: 1hat’s the worst thing about the world of your story?

The 14th century? Plenty to choose from: plague, political and ecclesiastical corruption, lethal antisemitism, wars, the Inquisition. You wouldn't have liked it.

#WritersCoffeeClub 15/8: From which real-world events have you taken inspiration?

A selection of events from the first half of the 14th-century, including the Battle of Salado, the Conclave of 1342, Edward III's invasion of France and the banking crisis of 1346.

Plus (of course) the Black Death. That got a book to itself - "The Plague Angel".
