I'm speaking to the Rotary Club tonight about our cottage (bungalow!) industry.
And a lovely bungalow it is too -- the place we call home; the place we do our work.
Jon and I have a thriving publishing business here. He writes; I edit. We have a good thing going on.
Wish me luck with my speech!

If more manuscript assessment enquiries land in my inbox, this will be my reaction 😃
Completing manuscript assessments feels like the perfect culmination of a lifetime spent reading, studying and teaching literature, editing, and coaching. 👩🏫
I do love to do them!
