I made a "pro writers + editors" starter pack. It's what I wish I'd had when I first joined Farcaster.

As a senior editor, I was looking for a cadre of fellow word nerds who might want to get deep into the weeds on things like editorial style guide minutiae, philosophy of editing, critiques of publishing industry business models and norms, writer-editor relationships, book indexing, and so on.

This is only the first round. More will be added!

I got inspired by @dwr.eth on /gmfarcaster talking about the value of starter packs today, so I decided to just get something out there now to help the word nerds connect.

Thanks for all the responses to my Pro Writers and Editors starter pack. Seems it brought 20+ new followers to several underrated accounts. Love to see it.

If you clicked “follow all” yesterday, you may want to revisit the list. I added several more accounts today after reading all the comments. 

Even so, I know it’s still incomplete. I’ll do my best to keep it updated. 

I’d love to see other starter packs featuring writers too. I limited mine to those with pro-level work experience in publishing industries, partly in order to gauge the level of interest for deep-dive editorial shop talk on FC. But I encourage other efforts toward building real literary culture in web3.

Eek I’m an imposter on the list! I’m not and haven’t ever been pro unless you count DAO work 🙌

This is a judgment call, I think, but in general I'd say if you've been paid to write and edit, that counts as pro-level work... even if you were paid in tokens that later went to zero. 

From what I've seen of your work as an editor I'm inclined to leave your name on the list, but if you'd like me to remove it I will.
