Can I Be an Editor If I Have ADHD?

Mardi octobre 4, 2022

Can you be an editor if you have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? It’s a question I’ve been asked more than once, and one I see posted periodically in editor groups. It’s also a question I asked myself many times at the start of my career. I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2016, the same year I […]

Jeudi Décembre 15, 2022

Neurodivergent or neurotypical, freelance business owners share many of the same struggles: choosing a niche, finding clients, balancing admin time with billable time, juggling deadlines and allocating time, money and energy. In my previous article, I shared my story of how I discovered I had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) just as my editing journey was beginning. […]

Editing in Times of Chaos and Loss

Jeudi novembre 23, 2023

I want to preface this post with a disclaimer: I am not an expert (therapist or trained professional) in grief; what follows has come out of discussions with colleagues who have suffered loss or other upheavals in their lives and who still needed to put bread on the table. For those who think the title […]

WASTED WORDS: The editor as analyst

Samedi novembre 24, 2012

Wasted Words is a series of musings on language and usage by editor emeritus Wilf Popoff. I find it hard to edit without playing amateur psychologist. Why did the writer do this? Carelessness? Ignorance? Of course it can be either. Compared to editors writers are not as alert, which is why they need us. But […]

WASTED WORDS: Stalking Verbosity

Mardi juillet 30, 2013

(Oxford Online Dictionary) Not much here to make a writer proud. I admit to being verbosity-obsessed: while writing I’m terrorized by the possibility I’ll […]

The Editor’s Fedora Part 3

Lundi mars 10, 2014

Now we arrive at the crucial topic of cost, and the seemingly arbitrary variations in same. Some editors are so brilliant that they really can and do charge top dollar. I know someone who can quote $5,000 for editing an 80,000-word manuscript. Before you gag on that, bear in mind that editing at that rarefied […]
