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. https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/pack/Pro-Writers-and-0qzx37

That's some impressive editorial cred right there. Love it. Added you to the starter pack! Looking forward to more editorial shop talk on the purple app.

Great to hear it. A couple of people have already told me they have 20+ new followers today because of this starter pack, so I'm glad I got it out there right away even though I knew it would be incomplete. Feel free to tag me with other suggestions for inclusion in the list. I'll try to keep it current.
