There was no owl post to the house, but the Prophet and any messages came through the Floo twice a day, ejected unceremoniously onto the kitchen hearth. The most eventful bit of news in the Prophet so far had been their shared obituary, which had run the week after their “deaths.” Draco had read the piece out loud in a somber, priestlike tone that had made his mother smile with teeth, which she never did; there was a sharp canine she didn’t like.

“Anything worth reading today?” he asked her, propping his feet up on an ottoman whose ivory legs looked like they might have been carved out of troll tusks.

“Not particularly,” she said. “The Ministry is conducting an internal investigation of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. They suspect someone there has been compromised.”

She felt undeserving when she was appointed as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about feminist activism.

She thinks the criticism she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate herself.

She says there’s a desperate need to reform the education system in the UK to change the way they are taught the history of how Britain has been involved in foreign affairs and how they profited from slavery.

She felt anxious about approaching 30 because there’s a lot of pressure to have a husband and a baby by then and she’s still figuring her life out.

She was so young when she was casted in Harry Potter that she doesn’t remember much of her life before it and she went to therapy to deal with her issues with fame. She used to feel very guilty for being unhappy because she thought she should enjoy fame more.

The interviewer is a transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.

She talks about her role as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”  

She wishes more people would realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.

She used to think she could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single = lonely.

hey y’all! i am reaching a place where i need a second job, so i thought to myself, hmm, what am i good at besides writing, and editing is the answer!

you can now hire me through Fiverr to edit your fiction. i’ll do all the simple stuff (grammar, spelling, etc.), but i’ll also give you a comprehensive edit letter that covers plot, character, style, and more.

you can also email me directly at [email protected] if you’d like to hire me independently. by all accounts, Fiverr seems to be a pretty good place to find clients, but they also take a 20 percent cut, which is not insubstantial.

the prices on Fiverr are just a starting point ($35 for the first five pages). we can negotiate. if you want an essay, paper, or cover letter proofread for grammatical or spelling reasons, for instance, that would be much cheaper.

if you know anybody looking for an editor, please do pass them my profile or this post! on this hellsite i know i am just another weirdo, but in reality, i have the qualifications to provide writers with a highly professional edit backed up by years of experience inside the publishing industry. per The Official Bio:

Let’s take your fiction to the next level!

I’m the author of SEVEN WAYS WE LIE, NOTEWORTHY, and FINAL DRAFT, published by Abrams Books. My books have been published on four continents, optioned for film, given starred reviews by critics at multiple trade journals, and named to Best-of-the-Year lists by Kirkus Reviews, Bank Street, and the New York Public Library. Besides editing my own fiction, I’ve also read professionally for Penguin Random House as a freelancer, and have done editorial work for authors whose books are published at Scholastic, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and more.

I’m happy to edit works of any length and genre, though my specialty is in fiction, and particularly in children’s and YA fiction.

reblogs would be greatly, greatly appreciated! xo

for this one, i’m happy to look at not only fiction but also essays, articles, blog posts, screenplays, desperate love letters, formal dueling challenges, ransom notes, etc.
