mai 11, 2023 by Gael Spivak | Un commentaire sur Leading a Team in a Corporate Workplace

Play to people’s strengths Let people do what they enjoy and are good at (as much as possible). In my workplace, writers and editors are usually assigned subject areas. That makes sense, in […]

mars 9, 2023 by Audrey Jamieson | 10 commentaires sur Encouraging Coworkers to See the Benefits of Editing

You may come across colleagues who don’t want to be writing in the first place, so how do you convince them that your editing services are valuable? Sometimes you can’t. Sometimes people reject edits and say, “Scrap the whole […]

In-house to Freelance and Back Again

octobre 20, 2022 by Tanis McLeod | 2 commentaires sur In-house to Freelance and Back Again

I started my professional editing career among a team of writers and editors for the Alberta provincial government. At the time, government was the largest employer of editing professionals. The role was fairly limited: we did everything in Canadian Press style, we never credited a source, and I spent most of my time reviewing slight […]

Freeing Myself from the Freelancer Title

novembre 19, 2019 by Tracey Anderson | 15 commentaires sur Freeing Myself from the Freelancer Title

“Are you a freelancer?” My answer to that question has changed over the course of my career. When I first started editing, I edited learning modules for apprenticeship trades in house at a polytechnic institution. I also wrote freelance projects for newspapers and magazines during evenings and weekends. I loved writing, but it was not […]

It’s 2008. After graduating from university the year before, I have a soul-sucking job with a company of dubious morals. However, it’s the Great Recession and beggars can’t be choosers. I feel stuck, sad and like I’m drowning. Maybe I should get back into writing, I think. Online, I find out about Ryerson University’s publishing […]
