Okay, friends, here it is: my top five tips about dashes, and for those who can’t get enough, an extensive blog post with everything you need to know about en and em dashes, including how to type them, which to choose, how to use them, and is it okay to cherish them above all other forms of punctuation? 😱 (Of course) Link in bio! #editing #endashes #emdashes #amwriting

What a year! These stats were fun to explore, not least because digging them up forced me to stop and acknowledge the achievements this little editing biz has slowly but steadily made this year 📚 (stats felt but not included: infinite hours spent wrangling Canva, Elementor, WordPress and IG reels 🤪)

I’m feeling grateful to have worked with such talented and inspiring authors again this year. Thanks to all my clients, new and returning, for supporting me in 2024, and thanks to everyone following along here on Instagram - it’s so rewarding being part of this supportive community.

Looking forward to seeing what stories 2025 brings! ✨

The hyphen is the kind of multi-use punctuation mark that tends to send writers into an anxiety spiral, so I’ve put together a cheat sheet to help you when you’re trying to figure out if that little line (this guy: -) really deserves to be all up in your words.

Check out these top dos and don’ts and head to my blog for a much bigger rundown 🎁 Link in bio! #grammartips #editing #writersofig

If you love writing and/or reading crime, head over to my blog – I’ve just published a fresh author interview with Swedish crime novelist @christinagustavson.forfattare, who draws on her background in forensic psychiatry to write twisty, ripped-from-the-headlines thrillers. Two of her novels are now available in English on Amazon: Murderous Lies and Sixth Scent. Read all about it via the link in my bio 🔪🌳❄️ #authorinterview #crimewriting #swedishcrimenovel #editing #writingtips
