Emily M. Danforth
“I never disclose my real desires or the texture of my soul.”
― Emily M. Danforth, Plain Bad Heroines

“…[A] copyeditor must read the document letter by letter, word by word, with excruciating care and attentiveness. In many ways, being a copyeditor is like sitting for an English exam that never ends: At any moment, your knowledge of spelling, grammar, punctuation, usage, syntax, and diction is being tested.”
― Amy Einsohn, The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications, with Exercises and Answer Keys

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Be a good editor. The Universe needs more good editors, God knows.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Letters

Emily M. Danforth
“I like it so much better when nobody expects anything from me and then I surprise them by delivering anything at all."
"That bar’s so low you’re gonna stub your toe on it.”
― Emily M. Danforth, Plain Bad Heroines

Brené Brown
“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.”
― Brene Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
