@WendyBaldwinLinguaverse @carolinavonkampen @Editrix_Rachel yes, Carolina is live reporting superstar! I want to go off the bird site. I used it for the Professional Editors Guild conf. a few months ago and got no engagement at all. With #ACES and #CIEP conferences coming up next month, am wondering where #editors are gathering for any live threads to be most useful.

I’m starting #CIEP’s training course introduction to copy-editing this afternoon. I’m probably the only person to take this course after passing the intermediate course but, holy crap, that course was hard. I’m self-taught and apparently the way I approach everything is wrong.

Wish me luck!

I had so much fun putting together part of the seasonal quiz for the #Manchester #CIEP group, and plotting it all with my co-coordinator Lisa de Caux.

I'm grateful for everyone putting up with my difficult questions!

I also really enjoyed sharing some holiday customs from my original home (San Francisco) and from my former home (Geneva).

That's 2022 almost wrapped - on to 2023!

@EditorsCanada @editors @edibuddies Last chance to get 50% off webinar recordings by Editors Canada - on top of the 40% you can already get if you're a member of their partner organisations, including the #CIEP.

Business Tip: Create a style guide for your brand. This idea was shared at a CIEP Cloud Club West meeting a few months back and I finally did it today! It never hurts to write down all the things that make your brand consistent and recognizable (colours, fonts/sizes, voice/tone, etc.) and where you have a presence — especially online. Now, to make sure I use said guide…

Hello/helô!

I need to know: is the wonderful Susie Dent on here?

If not, how can we get her over here?

Mild panic has given way to slight disappointment 🙄

The #CIEP #neurodiversity in #editing panellists are now listed in the programme, and I’m not one of them

The finalised line-up is Laura Burge, AJ Harman, Lizzie Huxley-Jones (@littlehux), with Alnaaze Nathoo in the chair

All way cooler than me! 🥰

Just got an email today about this year’s #CIEP (#editing and #proofreading) conference

Although I won’t be there in person, I’m persuaded to book an online place now that I know fab #ActuallyAutistic author Katherine May will be giving a keynote

(And Richard Coles is giving an after-dinner talk in the sensory-nightmare part of the irl conference)

Also quite excited by the conference tagline: ‘Editing in a diverse world’

In fact, now I remember that I might be on a panel on #neurodiversity 🙀
