Update. New study of #editors of medical-education journals published in the global #south: "Among 1219 editors, 57.5% were men. Out of 46 editors in chief (EICs), 34.7% were women, and 60.9% were based in high income countries. No EIC belonged to low-income country. The proportion of female advisory board members was found to be positively correlated with the presence of a female EIC."

While researching the *kind" of editing/editor I'd like, I came across the professional website of editor September C. Hawkes.
Her descriptions of developmental editing & line editing are (for me) the most concise I've come across.
You can find that here (below her Bio): https://www.fawkesediting.com/

“How can your editing practice—the entire ecosystem of it—help build the world you want?” Read IoF founder Cathy Hannabach’s #EFACon2023 keynote here:

@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 back from #EFACon2023 and what a great experience it was! I presented two well-received sessions, met tons of people, sold all the copies of Perfect Bound that I brought with me, and even sold 1 copy of Mystery at Creek Academy. That's in addition to eating good food, learning about conscious language from @RedPenRabbit and reconnecting with old friends. Are conferences worth the time and money to attend? This one was!

My bags are packed! I'm looking forward to spending a few days in Alexandria with #EFACon2023. I'll be presenting "Beyond Editing: Advanced Skills for Working with Self-Publishers" on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, look for me on the panel "Editors as Authors." Hope to see you there!

James brought a touch of joy to a rainy Darlo last night. Even the clouds parted and blue skies showed through. Also a great lineup of Editors, Maxïmo Park, The Pigeon Detectives, The Kairos and Pale Blue Eyes.

Even small things are helpful to get people to act on the very real emotions they feel when reading these articles. Not everyone has the capacity to do everything, but I would argue that everyone had the capacity to do SOMETHING positive.
Let's mobilize that energy in the moment.
Talking to you, #editors.
I should probably write a blogpost on leaving #vim, going to #vscode and learning to love #vim again tbh. (Yes I'm using #openemu sourcecode in this screenshot because I cant show what I'm really working on at the moment)

More from the above my pay grade department: big-time, Big Five #publishers shedding experienced #editors and others in layoffs and buyouts, because who needs ‘em, when it comes to making a profit? Hell, I don’t know. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/18/books/penguin-random-house-layoffs-buyouts.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
The new Apple Silicon mac minis are really good for assistant editor work, data wrangling and maybe some DIT work. Transcoding to ProRes is really fast, also to other compressed formats, my M1 doesn't break a sweat.
I guess the real limitation for more serious DIT work would be the limited I/O.
