Call for Speakers

Written By Jen Grogan

The Northwest Editors Guild is looking for professionals from the editing industry and beyond to share their knowledge, insights, and experience at the 2025 Red Pencil conference. Speakers play a vital role in the ongoing success of the Red Pencil Conference, which draws hundreds of editing professionals eager to expand their knowledge, develop new skills, and discuss the latest developments in our industry. 

This year's call for speakers will open on the Guild's website beginning March 1, and we encourage Guild members to apply to speak on any topic of your choice—from editing fundamentals to streamlining your workflow to adapting your editorial business to our changing industry. Learn more and apply on our blog.
