Here's a quick tip I slipped to my writing craft group a few weeks ago.
Thought I'd share it with you.

Moving on up!
Happy dance!!
Achievement unlocked.
Professional editor upgrade, June 2024.
I wish #McGillUniversity had reached out to me … I wish more people would reach out to professional #linguist #translator #reviser #editor #proofreader Living in #MTL, a city where many say they are #bilingual leads, too often, to bypassing #language professionals.
I've added some new commission options to my Ko-fi, including beta reading, proofreading, copy-editing, page layout, and moodboard creation.
Please consider checking them out if you're interested, or just share this post to help me spread the word!
Real pig-in-shit moment as a #copyeditor and #proofreader coming up with a coherent set of style choices for replacing textual brackets with other punctuation, so that my decisions become intelligible to the author and to other editors
This is specific to works that use author–date citation styles, to reserve brackets for the citations and for supplementary info, e.g. "World War II (1939–1945)"
But it's also just refreshing for me to codify a set of choices that was previously intuitive to me. I've learned grammar post-hoc to understand why certain choices feel 'right' or 'wrong', and I still often don't know certain linguistic terms; I'm a Gestalt editor who reads holistically for meaning
I swear to god, I feel at my most neurodivergent when I'm going deep on semantics
it embarrasses me to suspect that other people don't think so hard about "what words mean"
they probably think I'm splitting hairs, but to me, it's vital to express myself absolutely precisely
I've been using Mastodon for awhile now, but since I've (finally) changed servers, I guess it's time for a new #introduction !
I'm Taylor and I'm a Canadian #writer, #proofreader, and #translator living in Tokyo.
My main muse is #reading, but #LanguageLearning is also a high priority for me. Expect many posts about #books and my inability to stop buying them.
よろしく！

Hi! I'm Aelaith, a shy #ActuallyAutistic witch and giant horror nerd! Though I've recently learned my favorite genre is "elevated horror" which makes me feel pretentious lol. Currently working on becoming #SelfEmployed as a #freelance #proofreader #editor!
Very into #Pathfinder and #DeltaGreen and other ttrpgs. Other special interest is #TwinPeaks!
I can't guarantee I'll post much, I've never been good at interactions but I'm here :)
Because I'm very, very part-time consulting at the moment, I'm also taking on copyediting/proofreading freelance jobs. 
I'm happy to look at any type of manuscript: blog-posts, technical writing, novels, you name it. I've got experience working with all sorts of writing, from adventure fiction to medical terminology. I am an expert at maintaining the flavor of a piece, be it the author's personal voice or an academic/encyclopedic tone.
I am available for contract directly, or through Upwork (not preferred, but I am on there). Send me a query!

A little tiny piece of my psyche relaxes and unwinds every time I see someone spell "sneak peek" correctly. #spelling #grammar #proofreader #CopyEditor
