Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! I hope everyone in the U.S. impacted by last week's big snowstorm is doing ok. If your power was knocked out hopefully it has been brought back by now! Here we were lucky enough not to have power troubles—just about 18 inches of snow! And temperatures that make me glad I can work from home and not go out much. I don't knw about you, but I've been keeping busy and trying to ignore the...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Welcome to 2026 everyone! I don't know about where you are, but here in upstate NY it has started off COLD! I'm fortunate not to live where they are getting multiple feet of snow, but we're still feeling the frigid temps. And if you've been around me for awhile then you know: I've never adapted to handle cold well. So I'm staying indoors as much as possible right now. How about you? I...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! December for me means lots of fun baking! Between Winter Solstice, Christmas, and my brother's birthday there will be enough calories flying around here to shock all of Santa's reindeer. I just have to decide what they'll all be. Anything pretty I may share on Instagram if you're interested in vicarious calories. You'll notice this newsletter is a little longer than usual. We've got...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Welcome to all my new subscribers! A lot of new people have signed up since my last newsletter so I thought I'd do a quick intro: my name is Anne, I'm a developmental editor, a writing coach, and I'm working on my first book: butlers in crime fiction—why do we think the butler did it? There are also occasionally baking photos and travel adventure updates here, because that's what I do...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Happy October! Sept 22 welcomed in Fall and if you've been following me for awhile you know that means baking in my house to celebrate Mabon (Autumnal Equinox). It also happened to be Bread Week on the Great British Baking Show. Tiger Milk Bread So I tried a new recipe and made King Arthur's Tiger Milk Bread. It was a bit complex and there were things that will get better as I...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Another month flies by and I'm wondering what I've been doing with my time. Fortunately I've been able to get back to wrestling with my own book, and am finally having some measure of success after stalling out for so long. At least, I'm writing again- we'll see whether the words are a success or not after I've worked on them for a little longer! Hopefully you noticed last month I...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Happy August! I don't know about you but I'm in need of a break. July was a whirlwind. I did a developmental edit for a contemporary romance, which I enjoyed quite a lot since I enjoy romances and this was the author's first romance. I got to spend time with cousins in Canada and then more cousins at a wedding on Long Island. I don't get to see any of my cousins enough, so any time...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Does it feel like summer where you live yet? New York has had its first official heat wave (which here means 3 or more days over 90) and as I write this (June 26) I can hear the neighborhood kids outside enjoying their first day without school. I've spent June working on two big projects. One was setting up a new service (more on that below). Yesterday I spent more than 3 hours...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Does it feel like summer where you live yet? June 21 is Summer Equinox, the official start of summer, but as I write this we're still experiencing cold and wet in northern NY. It worries me a little because I've finally gotten brave enough to set up a little garden. If it succeeds I'll expand it next year, but I'm not sure the weather is a good sign. The colder weather has certainly...
