I think a lot about storytelling, visual and written, and story structure.
I edit personal essays for students and spec fic for novice writers.

Also keen on yoga therapy, escape rooms, and science volunteering.

This is a bit random and yet quite specific: do I know any un- or under-employed (current or former) freelance book review assigning editors?? Do you??

If so, respond or tag someone.

I have a dream, an impossible dream maybe, but a dream no less.

My belief: The work of ALL authors of literary fiction - no matter how experienced - benefits from a good editor.

My simultaneous belief: The work of authors of literary fiction NEVER benefits from creative decisions being led by a focus on sales and marketing.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.
Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
