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

Just in case you didn’t already know, authors are the best people. I had a great time interviewing the warm and thoughtful @writerock11 about her new book Leave The Girls Behind at Elanora Library @gclibraries last night. Like her bestselling debut Before You Knew My Name, this book explores the damaging ripple effect of gender-based crime in ways that will leave you interrogating your beliefs and biases. But even amid that dark subject matter, there’s lightness - because that’s who Jacqueline is. We also talked musical theatre and how the musicals she referenced in the book magically came to the page; ghost stories and our enduring connection with loved ones beyond this plane; true crime research techniques; and advice for aspiring writers. My favourite nugget: it’s never too late to start writing if it’s your story to tell ✨Thanks, @writerock11, @allenandunwin and @gclibraries for a wonderful evening! #writing #authortalk #writinginspo

Supporting authors so they feel safe to share their story and explore fresh ideas to make it shine is crucial to the editing process, I reckon.

I loved working with THE @emma.mugglestone on the structural edit for two of her gorgeous Wattle Junction books and I’d love to help you too.

If you’re looking for a sensitive editor to support you through the editing journey, drop me a line. I offer a free sample edit and Zoom consult to make sure we’re a good fit first.

Wishing you plenty of schmökern this weekend. It’s definitely schmökern weather in my part of the world! 🌧 (Am I using this right? 😅) PS Thank you, Germans, for this excellent addition to my vocabulary.
