Notes from Your Publishing BFF

Sa-wing, batcher, batcher!
Creating your social media content in batches can help you swing for the fences every time.

What is a Book Editor?
Editors have all sorts of skills, so it can be daunting for authors to navigate the editorial path. Keep reading for descriptions of each role and suggestions of how you can utilize the professionals on your team.
In Memoriam
My close friend and mentor, Nikki Busch, died unexpectedly on my mother’s birthday, April 25, 2023. I am grateful for social media, as I have a record of our conversations, including the wisdom she so generously shared with me.

Clubhouse recap
Today’s EFA Clubhouse discussion was scheduled as a social hour and was not recorded. About seven of us attended, and we touched on a variety of topics, including soft skills and copyright information.
Website Wisdom
I hosted the third EFA Clubhouse conversation today. Our attendance was lower than the past two times, but that’s OK. We had a good chat about websites and some of the principles of web design. Here are my notes.
Welcome to Clubhouse
I’ve had the privilege to create the inaugural Clubhouse room for the Editorial Freelancers Association. We’ve met twice, and it seems to have been well-received. I enjoy participating in Clubhouse conversations with authors and audiobook narrators and producers, but it’s rare for me to be in charge.
Where do I find clients?
A new colleague emailed me after I presented at the Women in Publishing Summit last week, asking where I meet romance clients.
I’ve joined the public-speaking circuit
