Kia Thomas | Fiction Editor

Time to promote my shit again! (It's not shit. I worked very hard on all of it, promise.) I wrote: A style guide for swearing mybook.to/AVSD A weird little lit fic novelette mybook.to/KThomasWings A spicy contemporary romance (as @kwthomasbooks) mybook.to/TheScoop

@spellegance @kwthomasbooks Thanks!

@KiaThomasEdits @kwthomasbooks Congratulations!

Hey, people! This year, I'm will officially be using this account less/not at all (rather than just neglecting it as I have been doing)- I'm scaling back my business as I have a new job (a salary!!). I may still be here on @kwthomasbooks, or over at the sky place😀

@EditingByME @kwthomasbooks Thanks! I've heard that I won't have to send invoices or anything! They'll just... pay me. Every month 😲😲

@KiaThomasEdits @kwthomasbooks Congrats on the (salaried) job!

@RobertEdits @kwthomasbooks Thanks!

@SueProof @kwthomasbooks Yes, I only have that one for now. I think I'm going to switch it over to be a KW Thomas one, though.

@CatherineDunn8 @kwthomasbooks Thank you! x

@KiaThomasEdits @kwthomasbooks Wow - congratulations! I hope it goes really well!

@AbbieEditorial @kwthomasbooks Thanks, Abbie!

@KiaThomasEdits @kwthomasbooks Congratulations on the new job, Kia.

@clivemitchell1 Setting the whole damn sentence on fire and starting again would have helped!

Listen, Oxford comma people, I know you're all horny for those things but you gotta learn how they work because this is NOT an example of where one would have helped. It's literally the opposite of that.

@MMProofreading You're welcome! It's nice over there 🙂

@MMProofreading I'll dm you!

Being a Very Online book editor is... using Google ngrams to settle the "which of the Beckhams was the bigger celebrity in the 90s" debate.

@goodeedits @jamesshewmaker @MarindaOnline @mschristinema @RedPenRabbit @MaryNorrisTNY @IvaCheung @wisekaren @ACESEditors @GrammarTable I've never heard that in my life! Diversify is the usual term here, and I'd probably suggest changing it.

@jamesshewmaker @MarindaOnline @mschristinema @RedPenRabbit @MaryNorrisTNY @IvaCheung @KiaThomasEdits @wisekaren @ACESEditors @GrammarTable I probably would change it, but I’m in the U.S. Is it common in British English?

@drhlncharlton Honestly, I loved it. Some of your comments had me howling 😂

@KiaThomasEdits Oops!😬

Look what just arrived! Can’t wait to read it. Thanks @KiaThomasEdits! #theshot

@BrenKuebler Me too - we're helping each other off the sinking ship!

@BrenKuebler I couldn't DM that person, so I've sent it to you - could you pass it on?

@BrenKuebler I have one - I'll send it to you

For everyone who waited patiently for this, it's HERE!
