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 month we will talk about work/life balance.

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

Get out of your comfort zone a bit and join us this month for a presentation about indexing by member Daniel Heila!

Daniel Heila is an editor/indexer at Best-Ever Edit in Eugene, OR. He completed the UC Berkeley Extension Professional Editing Sequence in 2014 and the UC Berkeley Extension Introduction to Indexing course in 2019. In addition to his editing work he writes fiction and occasional arts criticism and is a chamber music composer.

Most of his recent work has involved line editing and/or book doctoring with a NYC developmental editor. His focus is on YA speculative novels, although he has edited memoirs and LGBTQ+ fiction. Mr. Heila was also the editor of Key Words the quarterly journal of the American Society for Indexing from 2022-2024.

In indexing, his specialty subject areas are arts/performing arts and humanities, music classical/pop, gardening/agriculture, and home food preserving. Recent projects have included a biography of an African mbira player, a music theory/theology text on twentieth-century modern music and literature, and an activist memoir. He has worked with University of Chicago Press, Rowman & Littlefield, Julliard School of Music press, and multiple independent publishers both traditional and hybrid.

This event is free and open to all editors, and will not be recorded. If you have any questions, please email info@edsguild.org to be put in touch with the host.

Are you an Editor of Color? Would you like to meet up with your fellow Editors of Color in a welcoming, intimate, online setting? 

Jesi Vega, recent president of the Northwest Editors Guild and a Puerto Rican Jew from the Bronx, hosts a monthly Zoom coffee hour for editors who identify as Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color (BIPOC, bitches!)

During this virtual coffee hour—open to both Guild members and non-members—we will share experiences, explore the possibilities of a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable editing profession, get to know each other better and, likely, laugh a lot.

Please spread the word to any Editors of Color you know. This is a rare opportunity to build community for our underrepresented group and we want to spread the word. If you have any questions, please email info@edsguild.org to be put in touch with the host.

Come ask and answer questions in a structured format that facilitates all of the above!

Editors need to lean into the AI revolution and learn how to use AI tools like ChatGPT so they can edit faster and better and have job security in an increasingly AI-enhanced workforce. Think of ChatGPT as your assistant that can automate the tedious parts of your job so it becomes less about catching mistakes and more about fine-tuning the content. You can integrate AI tools into your existing copyediting workflow to supercharge your efficiency and improve your accuracy. ChatGPT can help with content editing, too, by offering suggestions and even writing your editorial reports and client communications. In the end, it means less grunt work, faster turnaround times, higher-quality projects, and happier clients and bosses.

In this session with Erin Servais, we’ll:

* cover the fundamentals of what ChatGPT is and how it works
* explore AI functionalities in an editorial workflow
* forecast AI’s effect on the editing industry.

A recent survey of American adults revealed that over one-third did not know what antisemitism is, and one out of six said they had never heard of the word. This at a time when we are seeing an alarming rise in antisemitic incidents and hate crimes in the U.S. Education about antisemitism is therefore essential. This workshop will explore what antisemitism is (and what it is not), how it has evolved over time, and how it is being normalized in America. It will dispel misconceptions about Jewish identity and also delve into the reasons why antisemitism is often overlooked or even dismissed by those working in the area of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). 

Bob Horenstein has served as Director of Community Relations of the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland since 1994. In this role, Horenstein has directed the Federation’s efforts to safeguard the social safety net, promote civil rights, and combat hate and bigotry. He is also a freelance writer.

This event is free and open to all editors. To receive the Zoom information required to attend this meeting, please register for free at the event page, or (members only) go to this page. If you have any questions, please email info@edsguild.org.

Many freelance editors create multifaceted businesses that delve into teaching, coaching, and writing as well as straight editing. And we create business materials—websites, newsletters, social media posts, presentations—to share our brand and hopefully generate business. But do we know how to create these business assets so they are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities?

There are so many resources out there to help us build a business or a branding/marketing strategy, but few of these resources talk about accessibility. Our presenter, Mary-Colleen Jenkins, will define accessibility and offer a starting point for building accessible practices and design into your small business content. We'll cover some easy best practices to start employing now, and share resources for further exploration.

Mary-Colleen Jenkins is an Instruction Accessibility Specialist on IT-Accessible Technologies team at the University of Washington (UW). Mary-Colleen’s area of focus is outreach and faculty development, so her role is about supporting faculty in making their course materials, especially digital content, accessible to students with disabilities. The philosophy behind her work is “Progress over Perfection.” Each step forward is an important step forward.

Prior to her current role, Mary-Colleen followed a career path that is familiar to many members of the Guild: Teaching, Editing, and Consulting. She has taught in several programs at the University of Washington, including the Engineering Communication Program (2014-2022), the Editing Certificate Program (2017-2020), the Technical Writing and Editing Certificate Program (2011-2013). Mary-Colleen also served on the Guild board from 2012 to 2014. 

This event is free to attend and open to all editors.

Get wordy with a Word Games Chat!

Your veteran Capitol Hill Coffee Hour hosts, Dana A and Roberta K, would love to play word games with you online on Monday, October 2, noon to 1 p.m. PT. This event is free, and open only to Guild members.

This time, we’ll be playing collaborative crosswords using the in-browser Planet Crossword game on the hovercats.gg website (we might try other games in the future). Feel free to check out the website beforehand (go to https://hovercats.gg/about to watch a video), but you can easily join in on the day with a link we’ll provide during the chat. 

Note: You will need a computer to participate. The crossword app won’t work well on a phone. 

You play crosswords as a cat in space, and chat while you play. What’s not to love?

If you have any questions about this event please email Dana A at dana@lastpassediting.com.

In the spirit of many retail stores that are displaying Halloween items already (and because we don't have an October member meeting), let’s talk about the creepy side of editing and share a few scary stories! Join us for a discussion of the worst typos and misspellings, the scariest unintended meanings, and the wildest awkward phrasings that you’ve ever run into as an editor. We look forward to seeing you there!

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

The Northwest Editors Guild’s Mentoring Program is a popular Guild benefit. It supports new editors just getting started as well as mid-career editors looking to pivot to a new niche. In the past year alone, 19 mentor-mentee pairs were matched through the program.

Maybe you also have considered applying to the program, and wondered what the experience would be like?

Join us for a panel discussion with three program alumni to hear about the mentoring experience from the mentee perspective.

All Guild members are welcome—and encouraged—to attend.

There will be a Q&A session following the discussion, so be sure to bring all your questions about participating in the mentoring program for our panelists to respond to.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

This event is open to members only and will not be recorded.

The Northwest Editors Guild’s Mentoring Program is a popular Guild benefit. It supports new editors just getting started as well as mid-career editors looking to pivot to a new niche. In the past year alone, 19 mentor-mentee pairs were matched through the program. Amazingly, this effective program operates 100% with volunteer mentors.

The program is always accepting new mentors, and editors considering volunteering as a mentor often ask, “What does it take to be a mentor? Do I have the right stuff?” These are good questions. Join us on Monday, July 24, from noon to 1:30 p.m., for a panel discussion with four experienced mentors from the program to find out the answers!

All Guild members are welcome—and encouraged—to attend. The panelists will share information beneficial to both future and current mentors. There will be a Q&A session following the discussion, so be sure to bring all your questions about being a mentor for our intrepid panelists to answer.

This event is open to members only and will not be recorded.

Have you bought a piece of clothing from a store, and, when you took it to the cashier, had the person checking you out say, "this color will look great on you!" This is a sales strategy, a subtle but still manipulative attempt to build brand loyalty—it's a way for the retailer to assure you that you made a good decision when you chose to buy with them.

How might freelance editors use similar strategies in our own business? What are our options for applying sales psychology ethically, without manipulating our clients? In this short presentation, Letitia Henville will describe how she captures and shares quantifiable measures of the difference her editing makes with her clients. As a group, we'll then discuss other freelance-appropriate sales strategies, as well as the ethics of applying tricks from consumer psychology and behavioral insights to our business practices.

Letitia Henville (she/her), PhD, is an award-winning instructor and editor who helps researchers to articulate their goals to an audience of their peers. She lives and works on the unceded, stolen territory of the Səl̓ílwətaʔ and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm people on the land now called the Dunbar region in Vancouver. She writes the monthly advice column “Ask Dr. Editor” for University Affairs, and can be found online at shortishard.com and writingwellishard.com.

This event is free and open to all editors.

The Guild board of directors needs you!

The NW Editors Guild board of directors is seeking candidates for the 2023 board of directors, and we’re in critical need for volunteers to keep our Guild running.

You don’t need to have previous board service experience, and you’re not required to be a seasoned editor. The only requirement is that you’ve been a member of the Guild for one year and that you enjoy being a member of this excellent organization.

Moreover, you can pick the role that you want and decide your own time commitment - this is a volunteer role.

Please join for an informal, virtual gathering, where we can converse about volunteer service for the board. Multiple times and dates are available (listed below).

Topic: Informational: Learn about joining the Guild board

Times: Sep 29, 2022 03:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

This Friday online coffee chat will be a purely social event. Anyone who works as an editor and lives with disability and/or chronic illness is invited. This event is partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). Although there will be no set agenda, the host, Kyra Freestar, does have the following ulterior motives: (1) to find out how many people are interested in this conversation, (2) to learn from each other, and (3) to start making a list of topics that editors with disability or chronic illness would like to hear or to share with others at future Guild events or conferences.

A few notes: We will respect everyone's experience, and nobody has to explain their experience. We will share no names or personal stories outside of the chat.

A request: Kyra would like to hear from you if you are unable to attend this event, for any reason, but would be interested in future events. She would like to hear from you if you might be interested in helping to organize or host future events. And she is available for any questions. Please contact the host directly at kyra@bridgecreekediting.com.

This event is free to attend and open to all editors.
