mars 23, 2023 by Kate Merriman

In the first part of this series, I described the circumstances that led me to vocational discernment. The parish in which I was serving could not afford a full-time priest. Was there another career that I could combine with Anglican ministry? Vocational discernment revealed the intriguing possibilities offered by editing. With a mixture of trepidation […]

Combining Careers, Part 1: Vocational Discernment

Décembre 8, 2022 by Kate Merriman | 11 commentaires sur Combining Careers, Part 1: Vocational Discernment

I had been losing sleep for the better part of a year. The Anglican church in Toronto’s St. Clair West area, where I served as incumbent, could no longer afford a full-time priest. In a part of the city bounded by Little Portugal and Corso Italia, the prospects for Anglican congregational growth were slim … […]

Some Notes on Networking on LinkedIn for Editors

juin 8, 2021 by Tanya Mykhaylychenko

I recently read a thread where several editors expressed, understandably, their reluctance to use LinkedIn to network. The term “networking” is used broadly and is not always clear in terms of expected actions and etiquette. You may even be distracted by some notifications on LinkedIn that do not apply to your situation (you can always […]

My Neuroscience Thesis Helped Me Find My Dream Career… in Editing

juin 30, 2020 by Vaani Nagallapati | 3 commentaires sur My Neuroscience Thesis Helped Me Find My Dream Career… in Editing

I remember, at six years old, an aunty visited our house. In an attempt to make conversation with me, she turned mid-chai, and asked, “So, dear, do you know what you want to be when you grow up?” At my young age, there were no real consequences to this question. I could have told her […]

Editorial Self-Care: Managing Life Changes

avril 2, 2019 by Katharine O'Moore-Klopf | 10 commentaires sur Editorial Self-Care: Managing Life Changes

As editors, we tend to comfort ourselves by thinking that we have everything under control, because what is editing? It’s controlling the words. But control is an illusion. Style guides change. Our lives change. Life changes greatly affect the quality of our editing and our lives. What life changes might you expect? Your financial situation […]

Editing Is Lifelong Learning

juin 20, 2017 by Rosemary Shipton | 6 commentaires sur Editing Is Lifelong Learning

Editors enjoy their careers for various reasons — the opportunity to work in the exciting literary world or the more lucrative realms of government or business, or to specialize in particular areas of expertise. For me the major attraction is the simple fact that every project is different — I learn new things every day. […]

Introverted Networking: Not an Oxymoron

Décembre 1, 2015 by Frances Peck | 10 commentaires sur Introverted Networking: Not an Oxymoron

The best party I ever went to was in 1993. I was dating a drummer, and his band mates had invited us to an indoor beach party, their chance to meet the new girlfriend. I was beyond nervous. When the front door opened, we stepped into a gyrating, thumping mass of arms, legs and beer. […]

Rising Above the Plateau: Mid-Career PD for Editors

janvier 22, 2013 by Kristina Lundberg | 4 commentaires sur Rising Above the Plateau: Mid-Career PD for Editors

Every fall I struggle with the professional development plan I’m required to submit to my employer. My first decade in editing was brimming with formal and informal professional development, and my professional growth was steep. Fourteen years into my career, how can I rise above the PD plateau and continue to grow? Of course, in editing there’s […]
