About me

Gender Female
Industry Publishing
Occupation Freelance Copyeditor Extraordinaire
Location New York, NY, United States
Introduction For eleven years I worked as a managing editor/production editor at the big publishing houses in New York and had a thriving copyediting business on the side. As of November 2011, I am a full-time freelance copyeditor. It is from my freelance work that this blog derives. My purpose in creating this blog is not to defame, unduly embarrass, or tread on the intellectual property rights of authors, but rather to give a humorous voice to one of the industry's longest-held secrets: namely that content alone is not king. Those of us whose job it is to keep authors from looking foolish are due some glory. And I'm just the sort of girl to start asking for it.
Interests Remaining quasi-anonymous for now. If you know me in real life...please do not give it away here on my blog. I know this conflicts with my desire for greater and greater glory; humor me.

What spells can you cast with magic markers?

Ichabodus Ressurrectus, for one. Does anyone else miss Mortimer Ichabod Marker?
