Meg Cowleys Illustration and Writing Blog. Back to megcowley.co.uk. Wednesday, 22 April 2015. Life is perfect when. Today is a good day. I'm feeling very grateful and thankful for all the blessings in my life. I guess today is one of those days that just feels perfect and it's because I'm working towards/fulfilling my dreams today - which really fills the soul with contentment. It's been a productive day; I've finished two illustrations for The Wild Colouring Book and. Now I get to live every day working...

The blog of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders. Contribute to the blog. Different types of editing do the labels matter? Sometimes what we do fits neatly into a category of editing … and sometimes it’s less clear. Recently I’ve seen (and participated in) a few discussions about different types of editing what they involve, how rates of pay work out for each, and the level of skill or knowledge required to undertake them. Structural or development editing. Familiar with the traditional book publishi...

Seven Deadly Sins of Freelance Editors - Editing Mechanics | WordstitchThe Wordstitch Blog

Do you perhaps find that after looking at text all day you just can’t face looking at another printed word?
