A freelance editor, I specialize in fiction but I've worked on non-fiction as well as web copy, corporate literature, and non-profit materials. I also edit and write for the group blog Magnificent Nose, which covers many topics but gravitates towards articles about writing and reading.
I'm also a lyricist; a guitarist for the band Baroque & Hungry; and I'm a touring cyclist.

How to come up with a good title? This question needs to be more specific; asking for ideas how to come up with a good title isn't answerable. Asking how important a title is and what works from a marketing standpoint is better. Please remember that Stack Exchange is not a discussion forum. |

How to assure your plot isn't a carbon copy of another story? @ChrisOkyen - No, no. The question was edited after you wrote it; I've since edited the title again. |

How to assure your plot isn't a carbon copy of another story? The previous edit was good, but the new title needed a little work to clearly reflect the question. |

How to assure your plot isn't a carbon copy of another story? I was gonna say, "read the title again," but the title and the question here seem to be at odds. What OP is asking isn't all that clear. Care to expand on your thoughts here? (My DV is locked in, can't remove it unless your answer is edited anyway.) |

Absolute cheapest Print-on-Demand service? Whatever service is cheapest now probably won't be in a year or so, and this question will then be out of date. This question is essentially a product recommendation, a category of question that doesn't work very well on Stack Exchange sites. (The blog post QA is Hard, Let's Go Shopping has more details about why this is so.) This would be a much better question if it asked how to to POD cheaply - as in, asking what to look for in a service. |

How to assure your plot isn't a carbon copy of another story? This doesn't really answer the question, which is asking how to decide where something is too similar. |

Is it strange if a novel starts the first chapter without one of main characters? Interesting situation. "Is it strange" is hard to answer, but what are your specific concerns about not introducing your protagonist in chapter one? We can address those. |

a distraction-free, digital portable typewriter How is this question about writing? It seems to be more of a development question. Also, can you be clearer about what, exactly you're asking? If you're looking for a collaborator on this project, this isn't the place to find it. |
