Revised and added to …. She had once spanked Anna Belle for running away from her in a parking lot then stood beside the car crying afterward. Some unexpected strength took up residence inside her the day Anna Belle was born. Amy became. Amy had forced a laugh, babies are. I have to quit running, Jamie said. Oh, right,.

EDITOR@WORK: Sole power

http://tg-editor-proofreader.blogspot.com/2015/07/sole-power.html

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Saturday, July 18, 2015. According to published reports, 99 percent of Packers fans renew their season tickets meaning. That only 100 to 200 tickets are sold to those lucky soles. At the top of the list. Unless you're talking about foot care, I'd change soles. Also, I'd put a comma after tickets, or I'd change it to this:. According to published reports, 99 percent of Packers fans renew their season tickets , which means. You might look at.

EDITOR@WORK: July 2014

http://tg-editor-proofreader.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Tuesday, July 22, 2014. A killer first sentence. James Garner, the wry and handsome leading man who slid seamlessly between television and the movies but was best known as the amiable gambler Bret Maverick in the 1950s western “Maverick” and the cranky sleuth Jim Rockford in the 1970s series “The Rockford Files,” died on Saturday night at his home in Los Angeles. He was 86. I prefer simple; it's easier to the reader. You might look at. Wipeo...

EDITOR@WORK: June 2015

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Sunday, June 28, 2015. Her husband Tom's suggestion. Found in a novel:. Once that was done, it had been her husband's Tom's, suggestion. That they look deeper into her Klingon past. That's a portion of a sentence I found in a novel. Here's a better way to write it:. Once that was done, her husband Tom suggested. That they look deeper into her Klingon past. It's a shorter (three fewer words) and neater way of saying the same thing. A book of ...

EDITOR@WORK: Reminders for be and would-be novelists

http://tg-editor-proofreader.blogspot.com/2012/11/reminders-for-would-be-novelists.html

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Saturday, November 17, 2012. Reminders for be and would-be novelists. That your lady fair is pretty or beautiful. Let us see the russet tresses flowing over bare shoulders, her green eyes, her wicked (or demure) smile. Or her pink, fuzzy sweaters. You're already getting visions, aren't you? And I'm just throwing out ideas. Use active verbs. Don't have your hero make his way here and there. Let him amble, stroll, bumble or slither&#46...See s...

EDITOR@WORK: You really DO need an editor

http://tg-editor-proofreader.blogspot.com/2012/08/you-really-do-need-editor.html

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Sunday, August 5, 2012. You really DO need an editor. Some people aren't sure. They need an editor. One "professional" writer once told me that she didn't need an editor. She could spell and write, she said. That's frightening to me; everyone — everyone from Joe Schmoe to a great writer like William Faulkner or Ernest Hemingway — needs an editor. I doubt that this woman is a Schmoe, but she's probably not a Faulkner or Hemingway, either.

EDITOR@WORK: October 2014

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Mock GM: Jackson to Eagles, more trades we want to see. The problem with this headline is Jackson. The Eagles traded DeSean Jackson. To the Redskins in the offseason, and I wondered why they'd trade him back to the Eagles in midseason. They wouldn't. The story is about Vincent. Not DeSean. The headline deceives the reader, and the headline writer should have realized that in advance. Freelance Writers and Editors.

EDITOR@WORK: What I charge (it's a steal) and what I edit

http://tg-editor-proofreader.blogspot.com/2014/01/pricing-its-deal-and-what-i-edit.html

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Thursday, January 2, 2014. What I charge (it's a steal) and what I edit. Me, they usually ask two questions: How much do you charge? And do you edit my kind of writing? Charge by the hour, it's $15 an hour for proofreading and $25 an hour for editing. Second, do I edit your kind of writing? I've edited and proofread novels, non-fiction books and ebooks. I've edited for a Canadian student, a lawyer from Virginia, a publishing company in M...

EDITOR@WORK: J-school: Go out and learn

http://tg-editor-proofreader.blogspot.com/2012/09/j-school-go-out-and-learn.html

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Thursday, September 6, 2012. J-school: Go out and learn. If you're a journalism student. And you want to work at a newspaper, find a newspaper or magazine and become a clerk. You'll answer phones, particularly if you're working in sports at a newspaper, and you'll learn. Eventually, they'll send you out to cover a game or write a feature story. Oh, did I mention that you'll learn? Then I got my first of nine jobs, and I learned some more.

Do you need a great editor? I'm available (tgilli52@gmail.com). Saturday, August 30, 2014. I checked the speedometer. It was only two miles between villages, and I checked the speedometer. When we left Cold Brook. I love this author's work, but I have to disagree here. The narrator didn't check the speedometer. He checked the odometer. For distance, not speed. Just short of Connecticut I turned right on Route 123, glancing at my speedometer. I'm making a point; if you can, be accurate. An editor's views ...
