About

Assistant Editor at Diabolical Plots; First Reader at PodCastle.

I have great writing-craft videos on YouTube, and all kinds of musings about writing and publishing and editing on my homepage.

Grizzled former mod. No longer active. This place is a lot of where I learned to talk about writing, and that being helpful is just as important as being knowledgeable.
