Join us for our "Editors Helping Editors" meeting. Bring your problems, big and small, as well as your thinking caps. We'll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn't working in Word. The only topic that's off limits is setting rates, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics, such as tools and data we use when setting rates, what counts as a tax write-off, and how/when to raise rates.

This event is open to all editors, and will not be recorded.

This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors.

Group agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:

* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.

* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.

* We take care of ourselves. Stretch, eat, drink, take a break, etc.

* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.

* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes, stories stay.

Discussion topics for this online chat are currently open. If you have a conversation topic you would like to host (for this meeting or at a different day/time), please contact me! I also have a list of topics to bring to the meeting in case they are needed.
