on offering my services, and offering up my ego....

[lagilman]

So it looks like I'll have room to take on 2-3 new editorial clients this year (I only take on one person at a time, so they get 100% of my editorial brain). I offer everything from brainstorming/development to line editing and submission formatting, but NOT copy-editing or proofreading (there are folk out there who are better than I at that, you should talk to them first).

If you're interested, contact me at dymk-at--optimum-dot-net to discuss.

Meanwhile, I seem to be alone in not pimping my work for various award consideration. Rest assured, it's less that I don't want to be considered and more that my short fiction output has fallen dramatically, and two of the markets that were supposed to publish stories last year have failed out. Alas.

However, for those who are curious/tend to nominate, for your consideration:

"Illumination" in UNUSUAL SUSPECTS, edited by Dana Stabenow (December 2008) [fantasy/mystery]
"Wolfling" in Abyss And Apex #26 [sf]
"Dreamcatcher" (novella) in e-format from Nocturne/Harlequin, as Anna Leonard (September 2008) [paranormal romance]

FREE FALL (Luna) [fantasy]
THE NIGHT SERPENT (Nocturne, as Anna Leonard) [paranormal romance]

Sounds like you are going to have some fun working with other writers. :) I'm sure that you all with learn something from each other. :) Good luck.

I have discovered that almost all of what Luna publishes is tailor-made for me. Thus far, of the books I have picked up that they have put out, I have wanted to buy all but ONE, and I have picked up a LOT of books they've put out! I cannot wait to get my hands on Free Fall! :D

Following the footsteps of the person up there ^, I also copy-edit and proof-read freelance-style (and can now claim that I've done it for major publishers, which is exciting). So, should you ever get any such requests, I (and the person above I'm sure) would love you!
