24.01.2022 A handy overview of the different types of editing. My specialty is copy-editing, i.e. working line by line on the nitty-gritty stuff like grammar, punctuation and spelling.

24.01.2022 Style guides in every flavour! I love CMOS for its detail, Buzzfeed for its modernity and the Elements of Style for some vintage gems.

22.01.2022 Hello friends! Have you been wondering what we've been working on over at FSEP HQ? ... No? Well, you're finding out anyway. Turns out that as well as making rad acronyms we've also been building a website. Visit http://felicityediting.com.au for a cheeky peek.

08.01.2022 "The theme of our 2017 SfEP conference was ‘context is key’ nobody is saying that students shouldn’t use standard grammar in formal essays, but they don’t need to use it in everyday writing and speech, as long as their audience understands them."

07.01.2022 Next Monday 4 March is National Grammar Day! Technically only for the US, but it's not cheating if we don't have an equivalent day in Australia, right?

06.01.2022 If you ever struggle with punctuating dialogue, this is brilliant.
