Review: Elements of Indigenous Style: A Guide for Writing By and About Indigenous Peoples by Gregory Younging

mai 29, 2018 by Sue Archer | 3 commentaires sur Review: Elements of Indigenous Style: A Guide for Writing By and About Indigenous Peoples by Gregory Younging

When I heard an Indigenous style guide was being published this year, I was excited by the opportunity to learn a framework for approaching the works of Indigenous authors. I am a non-Indigenous editor — a settler — and in recent years I have become very aware of my long-standing ignorance regarding the perspectives of […]

Confessions d’un copain du congrès (coordonnatrice)

mai 9, 2017 by Sue Archer

Je me souviens de ma toute première inscription au congrès de Réviseurs Canada, en 2014. À ce moment, je n’avais jamais porté le titre de « réviseur », mais, après plusieurs années à jongler avec les mots dans le cadre de divers postes, j’ai réalisé que c’était là ce que je faisais réellement depuis tout ce temps. J’étais […]

Confessions of a Conference Buddy (Coordinator)

mai 9, 2017 by Sue Archer | 2 commentaires sur Confessions of a Conference Buddy (Coordinator)

I remember when I signed up for my first Editors Canada conference back in 2014. At the time, I’d never held the job title of “editor,” but after years of working in jobs where I’d managed to feed my need to wrangle with words, I’d come to realize it was the role I’d been living […]

Review: The Complete Canadian Book Editor by Leslie Vermeer

novembre 29, 2016 by Sue Archer | 3 commentaires sur Review: The Complete Canadian Book Editor by Leslie Vermeer

When I first heard about The Complete Canadian Book Editor, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by the notion of a “complete” resource on book editing. I edit the works of self-publishing authors, so my knowledge of the world of traditional book publishing is limited — gained mostly through conversations with other editors and my […]

Oh, My Aching Eyeballs!

août 16, 2016 by Sue Archer | 18 commentaires sur Oh, My Aching Eyeballs!

Lately, I find myself wishing I’d picked a profession where I didn’t need to look at computer screens. Or read a lot. Or use my eyes at all, really. (Being a taste tester at a chocolate factory sounds like an attractive career change right about now.) My distance vision has always been terrible, but now […]

Should You Only « Edit What You Know »?

mars 8, 2016 by Sue Archer | 3 commentaires sur Should You Only « Edit What You Know »?

Writers are often told to “write what they know.” But what about editors? Should we only take on projects that are squarely in our comfort zones? When I asked this question online, I found that many of my editing colleagues endorse the idea of editing in new areas. It’s a fantastic way to develop your […]

May I Help You?

“Hello, Ms. Client? I’m Sue Archer from Customer Relations, and I’m calling to follow up with you about your complaint.” I’ve performed a number of difficult jobs in my life, but by far the most challenging one was a call centre role where I dealt solely with complaints. Every day it was my job to […]

Review: Correct English: Reality or Myth? by Geoffrey Marnell

septembre 22, 2015 by Sue Archer | 4 commentaires sur Review: Correct English: Reality or Myth? by Geoffrey Marnell

I’m sure all of us, as editors, have encountered heated discussions about the notion of “correct” English. It’s an inescapable occupational hazard. With the prescriptivists in one corner and the descriptivists in the other, the debate continually rages on. I was curious to know if Geoffrey Marnell would bring anything new to the discussion with […]

Review: The Editor’s Companion by Steve Dunham

mars 3, 2015 by Sue Archer | 10 commentaires sur Review: The Editor’s Companion by Steve Dunham

When I first read the title of this book, I thought it would be a comprehensive “how to” guide for people learning how to edit, like The Copyeditor’s Handbook by Amy Einsohn. The focus of this book is somewhat different. The Editor’s Companion is aimed at professionals who already know something about communications, but are […]

Four Guidelines for Editing Your Way Through the Corporate Jungle

novembre 25, 2014 by Sue Archer | 10 commentaires sur Four Guidelines for Editing Your Way Through the Corporate Jungle

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be an editor. Unlike many of my editing colleagues who work in publishing, I ply my trade within a corporation. Although my official title is not “editor,” editing is a large part of what I do. I’ve worked for years in information technology, where […]
