My first repeat client, and also my first book, or, more precisely, future book.  I’m editing a book on migration. It’s a really good feeling to get some positive feedback on the work I’m doing, especially when it’s in the form of repeat business.

I also did a little more work on my editing and proofreading site, including expanding the English Writing Tips section.  I’m trying to put together some resources I think might be useful to people writing papers in English, particularly when it’s not their first language.  To that end, I made a page of spelling differences between British and American English, one for different word uses in British and American English, a list of negative, prefixed words that do not become positive by dropping the prefix (I find them kind of interesting, so that one may have been for my benefit), and started to make a list of English homophones. I haven’t gotten too far with that last one, but it’ll get done eventually.

It’s nice to be busy.
