Progress isn't always measured in chapters. Sometimes it's one paragraph. Sometimes it's one sentence. It all counts. ❤️ #WritingMotivation #AuthorLife #WritingCommunity #indiewriter #writer

A little reminder for writers today: You don't have to write a perfect first draft. You just have to write it. The editing can come later. ✍️📚 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Author #WritingMotivation

🍂 Autumn always feels like a fresh chapter to me. The evenings get cosier and suddenly there's nothing better than curling up with a good book. If you've been putting off writing, perhaps this season is your sign to start. Every story starts somewhere. #AutumnVibes #author

errors that are easy to miss when you're close to the work. As much as we love our manuscripts, sometimes they benefit from a little outside perspective. 📚 Have you ever found a mistake in your writing weeks after you thought it was finished?

When you've spent so much time writing, your brain naturally fills in gaps and reads what it expects to see rather than what's actually on the page. That's one of the reasons editing is so valuable. A fresh pair of eyes can spot inconsistencies, awkward phrasing and small

Have you ever finished reading your own work and thought, "That looks perfect to me." Only to spot a typo the very next day? 👀 It happens to all of us. #BookEditing #Proofreading #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfInstagram #AmWriting

One of the easiest ways to improve readability? Watch out for overly long sentences. Long sentences aren't always wrong, but if a reader has to go back and read a sentence twice to understand it, it may be worth breaking it up. Sometimes a full stop can be your best friend. 😊

My website should be working better now, and mobile responsive (hopefully). I've been working hard on sorting it out over the last few days, and I've even designed and uploaded a new logo for it! Please let me know if you come across any issues with it.

What's the best book you've read so far this year? As someone who has always loved reading, I'm constantly adding new titles to my ever-growing reading list. I'd love to hear your recommendations! Let me know in the comments. 📚 #BookLovers #ReadingCommunity #Authors #Books

Editing isn't a sign that you've failed as a writer. It's part of the writing process. Even the most experienced authors revise, rewrite and refine their work. #WritingCommunity #BookEditing #AuthorsLife #indieauthor

Characters with different backgrounds, personalities and experiences shouldn't all sound exactly the same. It's a small detail, but it can make a huge difference to how believable your story feels.

One of my favourite writing tips is to make sure your characters have their own distinct voices. If you removed the dialogue tags, would readers still know who's speaking? #WritingAdvice #CharacterDevelopment #AmWriting #WritersLife

confused. I want you to still recognise your own writing when you get your manuscript back. Your voice matters. ❤️

It's to help you make it the best version of your writing that it can be. That can mean picking up on grammatical errors, suggesting a different word where something doesn't quite flow, spotting inconsistencies, or simply pointing out areas where I think a reader might get

Hello, writers! 👋 Something I think is really important when it comes to editing is remembering that your manuscript is your story. As an editor, my job isn't to rewrite it and make it sound like me. #BookEditing #EditingServices #WritingCommunity #Writers #IndieAuthors

Hyphen, en dash or em dash, what's the difference? This just simplifies it a little bit. #writingcommunity #writingtip #editor #writer #punctuation instagram.com/p/DYfjkPRjClf/…
