Lovely feedback on a politics copyedit this morning. 'Your hard work is evident throughout the manuscript. The author's tone remains unchanged, and your suggestions have been appropriate and valuable.' Puts a spring in my step! #copyediting #FridayFeeling
(2/2) This year I started recording myself singing and playing guitar just for fun. Songs from my childhood, songs that I love. I thought I'd share them in case they bring anyone a moment of memory, reflection, peace. Here's one I did this week. soundcloud.com/sally-evans-da…
I have worked freelance copyediting and proofreading for Oxford University Press for over 10 years, and today I completed my 200th book - that boggles my mind a bit! They are an utter pleasure to work with. #freelance #milestones #oup #Oxford #copyediting
Celebrating my 10-year-freelance anniversary today 🥳In October 2012 I quit my job to start my own copyediting business but had no idea how long it would last. I'm so very lucky that the last decade has been so good to me. #freelance #copyediting #dreamcometrue
When you open a biblio for editing and watch in dismay as the scroll bar gets smaller and smaller and smaller #150pagesofreferences #thisonewilltakeawhile #copyediting
'The prime minister is clear that...' Is there a more annoying phrase? Implies there's never been any confusion, everything has been clear all along, and if you aren't feeling clear about it too, well, what's wrong with you?
Curiosity prompts me to ask: in a sentence such as 'The snow fell quickly, that is, it fell more quickly than before', how many of you would change the comma after 'quickly' to a semicolon?
Exciting day for us members of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders... today it becomes the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading! My own membership now numbers 8 years - looking forward to many more with the CIEP :D @The_CIEP #newbeginnings
Today found copies of two of the books my grandparents wrote in Lancaster University Library - cool to see 'Oak' is stickered as a popular loan too! #forestry #LancasterUniversity
Fancy hearing Ella Fitzgerald sing 'You're Driving Me Crazy' in German? I did! Oh, and there's that blinder performance of Mack The Knife on this CD, too. Shame about the typos and odd choice of cover showing Ella carrying her groceries. jazzjournal.co.uk/2019/08/15/ell…
Has a musician’s given name ever been as apt in describing its bearer as Blossom Dearie’s? My review of the latest album of the chanteuse's songs on Jazz Journal: jazzjournal.co.uk/2019/08/02/blo… #jazzsingers
"Thank you for your sharp attention to detail and for being very easy to work with!" - lovely compliment from an author this morning! #copyediting
Brief respite between deadlines (and before maternity leave!) for a stroll in the gorgeous Welsh surf :)
