A big difference between corporate editing and TTRPG editing is I'm so very invested in seeing people enjoy the TTRPGs I've worked on. Right now I'm glowing from all the GenCon haul pictures. If you'd like to contribute to my glow, I'm available from November onward! #editor #indexer #freelancer
Thank you both, super interesting. I've had really good experiences with professional indexers - really a treat every time!
The Hidden Curriculum of Video Games by David Waddington critiques mainstream game design and educational technology, offering hopeful alternatives and examining reflective games that resist dominant gameplay logics. buff.ly/SnjGJWi
Hey, nonfiction and academic publishers, how about uploading the table on contents to your book listings? And the index? These are selling tools! 🗃️📚

Any French-speaking policy nerds willing to help me with a search of Quebec's Journal des débats? 🥺 I'm trying to find the debates that led to a certain regulation change, but I don't think I'm using the right search terms to get there…
My summer is getting full, but I still have room in the fall and winter! I edit nonfiction, TTRPGs, and websites, and index just about everything. #editor #indexer #LookingForWork
Helen Hey (she/her)@inkyfingertips.bsky.social · 4mo agoI'd like to take on more projects this summer and fall. If you need an #editor or #indexer, I'm happy to help! And if my schedule fills up or I'm not the right person, I have a broad network of editors and indexers that I will happily refer you to. #freelancer #TTRPGs #AcademicSky
Dears, the course didn't run .... Can you get the word out? Starts again June 22, 2026.
Interested in indexing? I'm teaching at TMU this winter: continuing.torontomu.ca/search/publi... "This course provided an excellent introduction to indexing! Additionally, the instructor went above and beyond to provide feedback and support throughout the course." Jolie, student, winter 2025
Can anyone on PEI recommend an internet provider that is not Bell or Eastlink and that actually works?
👋 Seeking connections w. other #editors on here. Doesn't matter where you live—I'd love to meet you! I'm a (mostly) developmental/structural editor, specializing in memoir but will also edit general fiction, non-fiction (ref. & self-help), and historical fiction. Based on PEI 🇨🇦
I know Montréal is hockey-crazed for the Habs right now. But there needs to be a little more love for the champion Montreal Victoire. Best sweaters/logo in hockey. Marie-Phillippe Poulin is must watch and Abby Roque is badass.
Indexes to fiction are sometimes made, although they are unusual. Philip Bradley considered the topic in his 1989 article for @theindexer.bsky.social www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/epdf/10....
Anon Opin@anonopin.bsky.social · 3mo agoLong works of literature need to have a special index at the back showing the page number when each character was introduced. Otherwise you're thumbing backwards trying to remember who this person is in this huge book you've been reading for weeks.
I had a tile delivery dropped off yesterday, and while I was signing the little electronic scanner, I said "I bet this was faster with paper." And the delivery guy told me that he could do double the deliveries when they were using paper.
BOLO for these 2 wheels please #BikeHfx. They were stolen from a front porch on Willow St sometime in the last week.
Two teens missing overnight, #yyj. Eyes out! Let’s get these kids home.

Day 3 of the @indexerscanada.bsky.social conference! Today we have presentations about Canada's plain language standards, subcontracting, and a follow-up to 2025's very successful AI debunking presentation. #AmIndexing
Day 2 of the @indexerscanada.bsky.social conference starts soon! Today's topics include tracking hours more effectively, the origins of the alphabet, and how to spot carpal tunnel syndrome. There will also be an online afterparty featuring member-submitted cocktails and mocktails! #AmIndexing
✏️ Editor post: Changes in my schedule means I now have openings for manuscript edits for: June, early July, late August, & fall '26. Hit me up if you're in need of an editor! I specialize in #memoir, general #fiction, and #nonfiction. I offer sample edits, book coaching, and submission help, too.
This is why I think it's so important to be vocal about not using AI. It's also why I think those of us who mask and/or have never had Covid-19 need to be vocal about that, too. There's a general sense of resignation these days borne from propaganda that says "Just accept it. Everyone else has."
Kathleen Belew@kathleenbelew.bsky.social · 4mo agoOh also interesting: students report that they think we use AI to write lectures and books and articles. Some of them already think this is just a dance of meaningless nothing. I find this endlessly heartbreaking.
I'm so grateful to all who have supported our fundraising efforts for our local trans community. 💙🙏 We still have some trans pride mugs available. You can see them here. Approximately 30% of the proceeds will be donated to our local gender affirming closet. rakupottery.ca/mugs/
Anyone know someone who does family-history research professionally? I'm looking for someone to track down some people from the 1940s: expertise in UK/German post-war field. Please do cross-post.
If anyone's ever looking for data entry help, I've got two people on my team that are really good at it and fast as heck. And, in general, I've managed enough projects to have a list of solid recommendations for data entry, editing, indexing, design, alt text, plain language, production, etc.
New mugs are up and ready to find their new homes, including some Trans Pride mugs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Trans Mugs will go to our local gender affirming closet (approximately 30% of price). See them all here: rakupottery.ca/mugs Have a wonderful weekend! #trans #lgbtq
Human rights of trans people are under attack by governments and cruel people. It's a cause too often forgotten, but needs more attention. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these pieces will go to our local gender affirming closet (approximately 30% of price). Please share to help!
I make raku pottery. Which means clay, fire, smoke . . . and a little bit of chaos and magic.✨ These are my newest vessels from the flames. 🔥 If you feel like helping them find their people, a like or share means so much.🙏 Wishing you joy in the chaos 💙
