Do em dashes dream of electric sheep?
No idea. This isn't a Philip K Dick novel, and I'm not Harrison Ford. But I am an editor with 15+ years of experience who thinks the em dash hate is unfair.
I read mostly audiobooks, split my time equally between nonfiction and fiction, and love a good backlist title, all things Star Wars, and South Asian lit.

Can a volleyball teach us about imagination?
Yes, it can! I wrote a recent newsletter about that topic, where I share my thoughts on AI, creativity, and language.
I began my tech career editing HP Sales training webinars. I quickly learned how to see through the tech hype machine. I love tech, but what price are we paying to produce Studio Ghibli knock-offs? We aren’t just surrendering our data; we’re surrendering our imaginations.
