Do we have Book Editors here?
Please make yourself known!

My friend is looking for one and I would like to help them find where all of the editors hang out these days! (I am hoping the answer is Fedi)

Also - NO "editors" who use AI and just shove writing into LLM. Real human workers only!!

How about an #Introduction again, since I haven’t been very active here and I’m thinking of being more active. And yes, it’s in part because of #Bluesky, the CEO, and their shit content moderation. I’m not leaving there yet. I would like to try another instance, though it looks like that may be pointless if Jay can get mad at you and delete you from all instances.

But I digress… an intro:

I’m an #author #writing a book series called Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories, but also other novels and short stories as well. I have the first three in the series out now. The first two are free currently from my newsletter site (in the library). The series is noir/thriller and with some horror sometimes and deals in themes such as corruption, friendship, and #LGBTQ issues (Mercedes is a closested #bisexual woman).

I’m also a trained method actor (the non-annoying kind) and recently starred in a short film that garnered 4 nominations including Best Film. I used to do a lot of indie filmmaking back in the early 2000s. I love movies and especially #horror.

I’m currently enrolled at SNHU and in my last year of school. It’s looking like I may wrap up my bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2026. I’m an English major and do enjoy #editing and am considering it as a career afterwards. I’m rounding off my degree with courses on #journalism.

I write and edit a #newsletter called Weaver’s Deep Thoughts which has “deep thoughts” on a variety of topics as well as free #ShortStories and #poetry by a diverse group of writers. It’s slowly growing and submissions are currently open. I’m currently rolling out a serialized story called “The Bride of Usher” for #Halloween which is a sci-fi/horror blend of “Frankenstein” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” New installments are dropping every Friday this month. The first is a available now.
