What a great resource! Even longtime #editorial workers don’t know absolutely every term related to the #publishing industry, and there are both long-used and fairly new terms in the #CIEP’s #Glossary of Editorial and Publishing Terms. https://www.ciep.uk/resources/editorial-glossary/
@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.
The #CIEP conference in Glasgow is a month away! I can't wait to hang out with my #edibuddies and learn more for my business.
You know what else I'm excited about? My panel! I'll be talking about communicating across #neurotypes and how to make sure the editing and client relationship goes as smoothly as possible.
I'll also be joined on the #panel by the amazing Katherine Kirk and Amanda Jayne Harman, moderated by Anna Knight.
Will we see you there?
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…
This week has been soooo good 
:
- great feedback from authors + my first Acknowledgements mentions,
- passed the #CIEP copyediting course,
- started an indexing course, and it turns out that #indexodon are super nice folks!

I am excited to start the Indexing basics course
Thank you Paul from #indexodon for helping me book the workshop despite the website glitch and #CIEP for the discount #amindexing #learning

Hello/helô!
I guess I'd better introduce myself.
#Introduction: Independent editorial professional, non-fiction. #CIEP Advanced Professional Member, CIEP professional standards director.

Former #lawyer
Member of ACES (The Society of Editing) and the Editors Tea Party (a virtual group for editors who are trans women, cis women or non-binary people who feel comfortable in spaces centred on women's experiences)
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
