Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Happy November! For someone who didn't grow up in a place with fall (the seasons in New Orleans are 'Hurricane', 'Mardi Gras', 'Football', & 'Crawfish') I've come to really enjoy it. Leaves change color; apple and pumpkin everything that can be flavored. I'm still not a fan of the cold weather but I guess it has to get below 60 at some point. I feel like baking more this time of year,...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! I don't know about you but September flew by for me! How is it October already? Me at Raby Castle I've been busy with a class through Club Ed this month on plotting and structure, which is reminding me that I love taking classes and do not love doing timed homework! I'm also starting an interesting new project where I do historical language authenticity for an author's dialogue. I'm...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Not to make you jealous or anything, but as you read this, I'll be enjoying a week of adventures with friends in England. I love traveling over there, seeing amazing country houses, visiting friends I haven't seen since grad school, and usually timing it all around a new museum exhibit. No museum exhibit specifically on this trip, though we tried getting tickets to see the Bayeaux...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Happy August! I've just come back from a lovely week at our family cottage in Canada, where the weather was surprisingly decent, Dove behaved better than expected, and the internet was out the entire time. Fortunately I'd blocked the week as time off for myself, since I just finished up two projects and was in desperate need of a break. Unfortunately I had planned on finishing getting...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! How's your summer going? Just flying by isn't it? I know mine is—how is it July already? Dove has been with us for a little over a month now and we're all still adjusting. 4 walks a day, much ball throwing, and obedience lessons. We're trying to teach her focus. She focuses when she wants to, on what she wants to—rarely on us when we want her to. So, a work in progress. But she's been...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Welcome to summer! Are you ready? Dove The big news in my house is dog news. It is a year ago that we had to say goodbye to our wonderful Violet. In the past it has taken many years since we were able to get a dog after losing one, but this last week we welcomed Dove into our family. She's a 4(ish) year old Belgian Malinois, (relatively) calm for a Mal, and my new editing assistant....

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Well, once again a month has flown by hasn't it? Spring is starting to think about getting serious here: flowers starting to bloom, leaves starting to leaf, allergies in full swing. Not sure when the temperatures will decide to join the spring party—it actually snowed here a few days ago—but I'm sure that will happen. Of course, this time of year means NHL playoffs in my family. We...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Happy Spring! I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the warmer weather so I can mix nice outdoor walks with my work. And I've been busy lately!

This month I'll be doing a manuscript evaluation for a new writer who has turned a family story into the basis...
