The Supposed Crimes publishing team seeks freelance proofreaders. Our 2018/2019 books need love and attention. 

We do not want content editors. We publish controversial, often violent, content. Editors have found that difficult in the past. We are therefore removing everything fun and creative about the editing process and looking for typo-hunters only.

If this tedious, intensive, and probably underpaid task is for you, please send your rates and a sample (a few pages) to publisher@supposedcrimes.com.

Everyone has favorite ways to spend the season. Food is a common theme, whether that's the fun of baking cookies or frying latkes or simply enjoying the array of treats....

In keeping with this month's holiday theme, let's talk about traditions. I want to start by recognizing that this is a difficult time for many people for a number of reasons. Practice good self-care, including not reading this, as you need and are able.

Some traditions are carried over into adulthood from when we were children. Others are made when we build new families, by marriage, birth, friendships, or other means. There are times when they're simply a happy accident.

In my family, we celebrate multiple holidays because of...

It's December already. This month can be hard for a lot of people. Between the increasing darkness, the cold, and the various stresses of the holiday season, it's a tough time for many.

I can't speak for others, and I'm the last person to offer advice on how to get through this time because it's different for everyone. But one thing that helps me is having a good stack of stuff to read.
