Inventor of Frozen Gravy on a Stick. Daily, wonders why magnets don't wear out. Oh, and I'm an atheist and skeptic. Once told that I have an enormous grasp of the obvious. Another time I was called Borderline Normal. Often answers rhetorical questions. Profile picture is of small metal dragonfly model that I assembled from a kit. Banner is a swampy lake with cypress trees.

I know itโs totally irrational, but I have this crazy superstition that Friday the 13th is a normal day and bad things are no more or less likely to happen than on any other day.
Weird, I know.

An editing project I had penciled in for March has fallen through. If you have a book manuscript that's almost ready for developmental or copy editing by a human, hit me up!
My areas of expertise (though I have wide genre experience):
* historical fiction, any period
* narrative nonfiction
* academic books and proposals
Send me a message here on the fediverse, or visit my website: kristenhallgeisler.com
Boosts welcome!

Summer is the best chair sharer.
She is keeping her pal warm.
Today is cold and damp so a lower back heater comes in pretty handy.
She has skills.

IF you are a fiction writer, especially of genre fiction, and
IF you would like to work with a professional editor who eschews the use of AI for writing or editing, and
IF you have a final draft sitting somewhere, that's been read by your trusted team of beta readers (you do have beta readers, don't you?), whether it's a short story or a 150K-word novel,
THEN
I might be the editor you're looking for. My specialties are SF/F, historical, horror, thriller, action/adventure, and weird (think William Hope Hodgson, Lovecraft, Blackwood, etc.). It's horror but not pure. It's . . . weird.
Yes, I'm mostly retired, but I'm not gone. I'd love to work with the right client! I've edited for clients around the world, so no worries if you're not in the US (I envy you, these days).
Maybe that is you.

@cowman @MissConstrue @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 More than once, as a way of explaining this, I've asked others if they've ever seen an old fence nailed to a tree and hanging up in the air.
@adhdeanasl Wait. Am I missing something here?
