   SF/F copyeditor's Blurbs
About me:
I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction (though I do take work in other genres just to keep all my editing muscles in tone). I work for most of the major publishers, and SF/F novels I've copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I became the first copyeditor ever nominated for a World Fantasy Award. I don't update this blog very often; my main blog can be found here.
Who I'd like to meet:
Other folks in publishing.

Cute dress on your profile picture. I just realized you're in Florida. Are you going to the Tri County Comic Con in Orlando in November 2008? I'll be the guest author.
I've never been to a comic book convention so I don't know what I've gotten myself into!

Good Morning!

I finished proofing A Demon Awaits today. When the cover art is complete, the books will start rolling off the press! Today I'm starting to plan the launch party, which is my single favorite day in the life of a book!

I can't wait for October 15th!
