To that end, I\u2019m delighted to share the Instagram endorsement of the editor who proofed&nbsp;<em>both<\/em>&nbsp;works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From my first experience being edited in the 1980s for five 3,500-word feature articles in a New York magazine to 20+ articles published in&nbsp;<em>The New York Times&nbsp;<\/em>in the 1990s to the last corporation internet article about information technology in 2014, I found this editor to be the most engaged in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My Editorial Comment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her track changes proved she was a stickler for adhering to my pesky style guidelines, defending Merriam Webster\u2019s guidelines and following my story line. We are talking about a story line strung out over two eBooks with a total of 140,000 words. Requires tremendous concentration. Her comments were clear, on target and often hilarious. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although understandably busy with months of editorial projects, she took the time to shout out to her followers about my fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/birdandbearediting\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reggiemorrisey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/HollyInstagramPost.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reggiemorrisey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/HollyInstagramPost-1024x612.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reggiemorrisey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/HollyInstagramPost-1024x612.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.reggiemorrisey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/HollyInstagramPost-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reggiemorrisey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/HollyInstagramPost-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reggiemorrisey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/HollyInstagramPost.jpg 1432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bird and Bear Editorial Services Instagram post about my 2024 and 2025 contemporary fiction eBooks. &#8220;If you&#8217;re into contemporary women&#8217;s fiction, try out Reggie Morrisey&#8217;s Sage Anthony duet!
