SENTENCE DIAGRAMS → FINE EDITING FOR FICTION WRITERS
It’s Kind of a Funny Story
I wasn’t the star athlete or math student growing up—tall, awkward, and fumbling through fractions. But hand me a sentence diagram? You bet!
Turns out, that little obsession with how words fit together never really went away. I think that’s why copyediting and proofreading feel so natural to me. I’ve always been drawn to the little things. I hear someone use a word in conversation, and I hear myself about to ask, “Is that the word you really want to use?” lol.
Looking back, those straight As in English were foreshadowing me starting this editing business.
But a love for sentence diagramming?! Yikes. Who is this person?
“Editing isn’t correction ... it’s attention and care.”
Coffee Talk with Susan
Writing a novel isn’t easy.
Pull up a chair, and we’ll talk about stories, writing, and the ordinary, everyday moments that have a way of lingering long after the day is over. Some conversations begin with a manuscript. Others begin with a simple observation.
I’m glad you’re here.
Coffee’s on ...
