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...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Can you believe it's May already? And one week until Mother's Day (at least in the U.S.). The weather is nice and rainy here and flowers are almost convinced Spring has arrived– which probably means its a good thing they aren't watching TV with all the ads for Summer showing up already! V. cheers for Knights Of course in my house, May means Stanly Cup playoffs. We each have our...

Anne Morgan Edits Writing Tips, Editing Insights, & Behind The Scenes In An Editor's Life . . . Hello Reader! Happy Spring my friends! I hope you had a good March. Mine ended up being super busy. The Women in Publishing Summit was excellent, but definitely left me tired. So naturally it was the perfect time to start another course (in my defense, I hadn't realized the timing when I signed up for it) through the Nonfiction Authors Association for a Book Marketing Professional Certification....
