Long time, no read, loyal followers! Things have certainly picked up over here, even more so than usual. That’s why I wanted to take today to provide you with three key updates about what’s been happening over here in The Bin.
First of all, I’m happy to say that my beta reading gig on Fiverr has been booming since the website made beta reading its own category under “Writing & Translation”. In fact, that gig is currently a Fiverr’s Choice gig, meaning that it is recommended as a highly rated service, trusted for quality work and delivery. It’s been a lot of work, but it’s also been a labor of love as I help aspiring writers to make their works the best that they can be.
The second of these updates involves one of my editing clients, James Starvoice. For those of you who have been following this blog for a while, you probably know James Starvoice as Ameel Koro, whose Sister of Echo books I reviewed on here before being hired as his editor. This past week, Starvoice released a new novel, Natir Whitebridge: Dog Cage, and the first book in the series, Natir Whitebridge: A Grain of Respect, is now free on Kindle.
Last but not least, I have some news regarding my master’s program. I submitted my dissertation in June, and we received our grades in July. At the end of July, we finally received the results of our progress. I DID IT! I graduated with merit and will be receiving my MSc in Creative Writing. It’s been a particularly challenging road, especially the past two years as my freelance work started picking up, but definitely worth it. I don’t know right now if I’ll be able to fly out to Scotland to actually walk the stage in November, but I am getting my degree regardless.
While there is much more going on over here–including a possible addition to this blog–these are the three most major updates I can comment on with any sort of certainty at the moment. As more develop, I will make sure to let you know. Hopefully, I will soon be able to return to this blog with more posts from the exciting world of writing, editing, and trying to not lose your sanity. Until then, keep writing, my friends!
