A Critical Dragon
Hi, I am AP. I am a freelance editor specialising in Developmental Editing focusing on Fantasy and Science Fiction.
This channel is primarily focused on narrative analysis, discussion of books, television shows, and films, and how they use narrative.
My Ko-Fi page is: ko-fi.com/criticaldragon
For those interested in how much editing costs please have a look at these websites that show the industry rates in a couple of different countries. I am a 'developmental editor' not a copy editor or proof reader. While every project is different and there are a number of different variables that are figured into price, the below should at least give you a rough estimate.

For anyone interested, I had a lovely chat with James over on his channel about Fantasy, literature in general, and editing.
I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope to be back soon.

Sorry for disappearing.
Some of you might have been wondering where I disappeared to. Well...
I took a short break over the summer to visit some friends, but soon after getting back I caught covid and that wasn't pleasant. From the symptoms, to the isolation, and then the side effects of the medication... I was not in good shape. It also took me longer to recover from than I was expecting, and I am still experiencing more fatigue and lack of energy than I am used to.
Then, some good news for a change. I got a new job.
Once I get established into a routine with the new job and balance out my schedule, and have fully recovered from the post-covid fatigue, I can get back to making videos.
Sorry for being out of touch, but it really has been a lot to deal with behind the scenes.
A.P.

This was a lot of fun, even if I was a bit grumpier than normal.

Dr. Nemesis and I continue our rambling tour through aspects of literature. This time we discuss some general aspects of tone, style, irony, genre, and audience. https://youtu.be/0UGYiZaiZTw?si=C01G5...

Whoops. I accidentally uploaded the wrong version of the video. I am fixing it now and it will be up later.

It was a lot of fun to join Josh, Bridger, and yes... even the Nemesis, for this discussion about Classic fantasy. I love hearing the different approaches and thoughts on this subject.
