I love reading what authors have to say about their writing process. This is a great article about Lily Chu's book Drop Dead. "The biggest challenge was that the mystery hadn't originally been planned. It just sort of came up." #CanadianRomance #Romancelandia www.cbc.ca/books/how-li...

Sometimes I talk about books, sometimes I talk about football. I had a lot of fun talking football with Old Man and my sister, MJ. We love talking football, and in this episode we shout out some of the women involved in the #CFL. #TiCats #CFLFan #WomenInTheCFL

Why the #CFL signs? Well, when you happen to know someone ( @sportsandplants.bsky.social ) on a CFL podcast and they ask you to sub for them, you need to decorate! I love editing books, but I also love an opportunity to talk sports. Go #TiCats ! #OskeeWeeWee #ArgosSuck #FreelanceFictionEditor

Marlies Sargent: Romance is more than transformation: A thank you note to Canadian romance authors

By Marlies Sargent, Editor & Reader I love transformations. From home reno shows to romance novels, I can’t help but get invested in the before-and-after storylines. And maybe that’s why I love…

I love book people. An local indie bookstore "means community involvement. It means community discussion, access to diverse books, all those great things. And people seem to know that if that's what they want, then they have to support the bookstore." (Michelle Tuplin) www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

Currently writing: a sapphic safari romance based on my photo safari in Zimbabwe and Botswana in 2023 ✨

Writers friends, I'm working on a piece about the importance of dialogue. So far I have that dialogue adds tension, builds tone, creates connections, and reveals personality. Anything else to include?? What are your thoughts?? #WritingCommunity #Romancelandia #DialogueIsEssential #AmWriting

I have favourite mugs. Do the other mugs know?

My physiotherapist said I needed to find opportunities in my everyday life to strengthen my arm muscles. My library holds arrived today ... I think that reading physical books might count as a strengthening opportunity? #BookLover #Romance #ReadingIsMyFavourite

HEA Canada: A CanLit Romance Hub is 5 years old! What started as a pipedream has turned into a dream come true thanks to all of you. 604 authors on the Romance Authors of Canada Index, and I think it'll reach 700 by the end of December and 800 in a year easily. Cheers to us, Romancelandia Canada!

I had such a fun day yesterday. The local romance bookstore (Slow Burn Books) put on an Indie Author Market. There was a lineup to get in and the place was packed. It's safe to say that people love supporting their local authors! #YYCBooks #RomanceCalgary #CanadianRomanceAuthors #SupportLocal

Trying to concentrate today and not look at the news. So, thank you to the authors out there helping my brain escape. 😊 Now, to get some work done ... 🫠 #Booksky #Romance #Fantasy #Romancelandia #CanadianAuthors

What services to I offer to authors? I offer a range of services, from a place to start (manuscript evaluation) to a final look through (copyediting). My favourite is collaborative editing. I truly enjoy providing ongoing feedback throughout the process. #WorkingWords #AmEditing #FindAnEditor
