I'm a wordsmith so I'm always interested in our changing, evolving language. FYI, here's a word that has officially come into use. It is one of the more than 100 new entries to the new edition of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. Also noted is the year in which Merriam-Webster first found the word used in an English-language publication:
--- Air quotes (1989): gesture made by raising and flexing the index and middle fingers of both hands, used to call attention to a spoken word or expression.

I'm known as the world's foremost Author's Advocate. What that means is that I work with authors, from concept through successful publication and marketing of their works. So if you have an idea for a book but don't know how to begin or if there's a market for it, get in touch. If you have a first draft and simply need an editor or a publisher, get in touch. Wherever you are, I can save you time and money and help you achieve your goals.
