.@intrepidusink Editing is definitely something that you should tailor to each story and writer. You need to understand their purpose in telling the story before you start suggesting changes. https://t.co/ZA7VshXd09

.@intrepidusink When you’re a writer AND editor, it can feel tough to distance yourself from the story. But instead of thinking like a writer, saying, “I would have done X,” you need to allow yourself to get swept up in the writer’s existing story and make it the best it can be. https://t.co/LF8wXwtaIK

.@intrepidusink I learned how to give (& take!) feedback in undergrad & MFA writing workshops. I worked as an editor at Flash Fiction Magazine & Just Place before joining the Intrepidus Ink team! I love to help writers ensure their stories hit the mark for specific pubs. https://t.co/F5TOXUNcii

🙌@allisonrwrites I'm a “foundational” #editor. I like understanding literary roots, what's considered “good” & WHY. I pursue both formal & informal education to remain current & I’m honored to have served w/several magazines as #editor & reader. A top goal: encourage #writers

.@intrepidusink Some misunderstand the writing process, believing authors write about themselves, which leads #readers to “uncover the truth” vs enjoying the story as is. Even with fiction, it’s daunting to let people critique your work! Feedback from experienced editors helps. https://t.co/NX3RJGBx4T

Reading @intrepidusink submissions is the highlight of my week because we get AMAZING stories! It’s hard to decline well-written work, but it helps that we have such a specific vision. We want characters who aren’t afraid to take ACTION and overcome the odds stacked against them. https://t.co/a4Zy3WYiV2

.@allisonrwrites for sure. #authors send us #horror, for example, which I personally ❤️ but we're #intrepidculture publishers, fear's opposite. We edit all kinds of stories, however, & our #editing team will even help you tailor the best places to send your story!

.@intrepidusink a One-Pass Edit addresses macro & micro story elements, meaning we may suggest edits for the story’s structure or characterization, along with clarity, language & more. GOAL: help achieve a story that's concise & powerful w/out losing your vision & intention.

We read work that is SOCLOSE! to publication – I’d love the chance to help the writer tweak a few things to make it suit the @IntrepidusInk vision. Our editing services also help writers polish stories they can submit to other journals – we can’t hoard all the amazing stories!

I'm a bit biased but the team at @intrepidusink is fantastic – don't miss the stories already published to see what we like, then send us your work for publishing consideration or editing services! https://t.co/rsJJZCfrad
