Ready, set? Okay!
Now that yesterday’s WTF inanity is out of the way: the good news.
Yesterday I signed on as a Content Editor for Lyrical Press.
Basically, that means I help authors shape their manuscripts into the best work possible prior to publication, and work with authors for the duration of their careers with Lyrical. I also get to participate in acquisitions, along with the rest of the editing team. It’s not a full-time gig, but it’s one that makes me happy; I love editing. Plus I get to work with the ever-so-fabulous Amanda. (Who’s probably giving me dirty looks right now.)
Lyrical publishes a rather broad range of genre fiction, but primarily romance of some sort or another, ranging from fantasy to paranormal to realism and more. I don’t have my first author yet – but I’m still getting myself oriented with Lyrical’s processes and standards, and meeting the group. Don’t be surprised if, once I do start working with my first author, I start pimping his or her books like mad.
…promise I’ll try not to shill too much, though. Ahem.
But yeah, that was my good news. I’m torn between wiggling happily and being utterly overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I need to read just to get started.
Definitely wiggling.

Congrats, Adri Have fun with it. Definitely something to wiggle happily over.
Thanks, everyone.
…wait. A…is that who I think that is, from that e-mail address? As in, someone I haven’t seen around here in a very, very long time?
Hee. So excited!
Why would I be giving you dirty looks? I am fabulous!
Congratulations
I’m looking forward to you pimping out your fist author 
Because you know I’m gonna make your life a living hell, that’s why, ‘manderpants. (Yes, ‘manderpants. I don’t know either. I just woke up and I’m vaguely wired.)
Sihaya-love: it’ll be a few months, probably several, just because of the length of the production cycle. But I may be talking about the editing process and dropping teasing hints now and then. ~coughs~ As I do now have my first two authors, and both their books look awesome.
Congrats! I’m sure you’ll be a fabulous editor! Your future authors will be thrilled.
Well, Adri, if the email addy is the same you saw on your zenunlimited site way back when, I’m the same A. Unless someone else is going around signing A. to their comments. LOL It occurred to me a few days ago that I hadn’t checked your site in a long time, met the redirect, and here I am. I MISSED you. LOL
I’m so happy for you, love. I know this will be a great opportunity for you and I know how much you’ll enjoy it!
Jennifer: ~laughs~ I hope so. I’ve got my first two now and both their books look awesome. Expect gushing.
A.: Yep. You and your e-mails, oi. ~laughs~ Which reminds me, I owe you a reply.
Hikaru: …until you can’t pry me away from my Sony Reader or get more than two seconds of conversation out of me.
What do you mean “you and your emails, oi”? LOL
