Today I’m talking specifically to my fellow freelance editors, but everyone else is welcome to eavesdrop. Accepting a new editing client is a lot like dating, so I’m going to give you some tips today to keep it safe, fun and profitable. Oops, that part isn’t like dating.

This month’s “Writing Workshop Workshop” will be held Sunday, October 9, at 2 p.m. We have a new location, which I think will work well for us: Olive’s in Clifton. (That building has been many things. The last restaurant in that place was Uno’s. It is also known as the Ludlow Garage.)

I’m at the Antioch Writers’ Workshop in Yellow Springs, Ohio, as I always am the second week of July. So far the workshop’s fantastic, with “ah-ha!” moments scattered amidst the chuckles. And the hugs have been great!

Here’s a quick follow-up post to say thanks to the ladies of the Dayton Book Expo. Their hard work paid off in a wonderful cornucopia of books, authors and readers. It was especially refreshing to see young authors and readers enjoying the event.

Or I will be horribly lonely.
The “Dayton Book Expo” (being held 11 to 4 at Sinclair Community College) is going to be a blast, full of first-time authors telling their life stories, experienced novelists with another edge-of-your-chair romance, and panels of folks for you to listen to. Many of the books have been self-published, so if you think you might want to follow that path, follow I-75 to Dayton.
Now about that loneliness thing….
