Hey, it isn't me... (really wish we could report these folks to someone instead of just reporting individual email addresses that they stop using...)

The debut of our new web series on copyediting! Our managing editor @lisaampleman explains the philosophy behind our choices as copyeditors. Spoiler: We strive to keep all changes in the writer’s style and to have an ethos of collaboration rather than criticism. Link in thread!
ALT A ragged torn book page at bottom. Gray background and white lettering, with CR logo and this text: "On Copyediting. Now I see it much more as an interpretive act, not an exact science . . ."
I'm going to run another session on describing your poetry work-in-progress! For more info or to express interest, see here:

"'Mom in Space' is a smart, sincere book full of incisive humor, gutting imagery, and a remarkable wielding of poetic form. From prose docupoems to sparse lyrics, @LisaAmpleman’s prowess is on full display in this lively collection."—@Colorado_Review: bit.ly/41kA2Oc

Acre in action! @MattMinicucci (DUAL) with our #Poetry Editor, @LisaAmpleman, at Wick Poetry Center's recent 40th anniversary conference / celebration! 🎉🎉🎉
My latest for the CR site, on going through papers:
"At some points, I felt embarrassed and slightly ashamed. . . . I felt sweaty and dusty and like a pack rat. But I also had some unexpected rewards as part of the process . . ."
@lisaampleman describes digging into her paper trail in her latest column:

Just a friendly reminder that if you want to support authors but don’t have money to spend on preorders ✨REQUEST YOUR LIBRARY BUYS IT✨
I do this constantly! It’s free, takes two mins, and you’re first on the hold list for the book, plus sales and exposure for the author

"I write in praise of the hanging indent, also called the flush-and-hang, a typesetter’s tool to let the reader know that the line is longer than the page itself . . ." @lisaampleman thinks about the practicalities of the page & poets' ambitions:

My essay in praise of libraries! Thank you especially to @cincylibrary and @SLCL.
"It probably surprises no one who knows me well that my favorite place in childhood was the library . . ." @lisaampleman sings the praises of lesser-known resources from libraries: suggesting purchases, borrowing audiobooks on your phone, and more:
