Winning in the Freelance Game

novembre 13, 2018 by Brendan O'Brien | 6 commentaires sur Winning in the Freelance Game

Being a freelancer is hard. When clients don’t have work for you, you cease to exist for them even though your livelihood depends on them or on people like them. You need to be a team player, but often you will be dropped from the team abruptly when a project ends. This demands resilience. Here […]

Working With Authors

novembre 6, 2018 by Rosemary Shipton | 8 commentaires sur Working With Authors

Editors make decisions all the time as they edit, but the most important judgment call of all is how to work best with each individual author. No one-size-fits-all solution will do. Most commonly, editors make their corrections with track changes, write questions and comments for the author in the margins, and describe their overall approach […]

Wasted Words: Sows’ Ears as Silk Purses

octobre 30, 2018 by Wilf Popoff | 3 commentaires sur Wasted Words: Sows’ Ears as Silk Purses

I was amused to read that some Hamilton landlords, faced with a public relations crisis, want to rebrand themselves as rental housing providers. They feel landlord has too many negative connotations, imputable to its medieval traditions; landlord also suggests a “callous and wealthy man collecting cheques each month and doing little else.” Rental housing provider, […]

One Step at a Time: Journey to a Dream Job

octobre 23, 2018 by Lindsay Vermeulen | 10 commentaires sur One Step at a Time: Journey to a Dream Job

I was shepherded to my first Editors BC meeting by the editing instructor from my publishing diploma, who suggested I join Editors Canada. Maybe “suggested” isn’t the right word — when she heard I hadn’t joined yet, she had the college pay my student affiliate fee, told me which meeting we were attending and went […]

Pink, Blue and the Singular “They”

octobre 16, 2018 by Marianne Grier | 14 commentaires sur Pink, Blue and the Singular “They”

I was a late adopter of the singular “they,” once thinking its usage was down to laziness or ignorance. I’ve recently changed my tune. The singular “they” helps streamline sentences, is considerate of those who don’t identify with a gender, and can help avoid the gender-charged language that can be our default. This last strength […]

Part 2: Suzanne Steele, War Poet It takes courage to be a poet, although not the kind of courage needed on literal fields of battle. For two years (2008–10), Suzanne Steele was Canada’s “war poet,” the first official Canadian war artist poet to be embedded with a Canadian battlegroup — Task Force 3-09 (Afghanistan) — […]

New Federal e-Commerce Site: Direct Sales, Clients Galore

septembre 25, 2018 by Marion Soublière | 4 commentaires sur New Federal e-Commerce Site: Direct Sales, Clients Galore

The Government of Canada is the first to admit that it’s not easy to do business with them. But change is on the horizon. The latest step toward simpler procurement involves replacing the buyandsell.gc.ca tendering site. In July 2018, the government awarded U.S.-based InfoSys Public Services a contract to build a new Amazon.com-like e-commerce site. Public […]
