Hi Seregon,
Great question! I'm waiting for my rights to revert back to me at the moment, which may take a few more years. But as soon as I get those rights back, I will be rewriting the first book, and will then move on to the third one. :) I have some big plans brewing for the series, don't worry.
Kind regards,
Monique

Hi Talha!
Are you referring to the charities I support? If so, most of my time is spent supporting the SPCA and other animal welfare organisations. I'm also an active member at my church, which supports various charities (orphanages, homeless organisations, education, etc.) so I do a lot of volunteer work when I have some free time. My start in life was humble, so I try to give back to the community as much as I can.
I'm not one who likes to broadcast my volunteering, because I feel it's something personal and should not be used for publicity purposes. I give, because I want to, not because I expect something in return.
I hope this helps. :-)
Kind regards,
Monique Snyman

Hi Talha!
Seeing as I started off as an author I understand what is needed of an editor. I try not to impose on the author's voice and style, but I do rework some texts where plot-holes are located. When I rework or correct, I tend to adapt to the author's writing, mimicking their style, but I always make a note to tell them to rewrite the text in their own words (just in case). Adapting to one role or another isn't as difficult for me as it is for others, because I tend to keep both worlds apart (this is why I need an editor for my own work).
Have a great day!
