juin 29, 2021 by Becky Noelle | 5 commentaires sur Feeling lost in the editing crowd? Join the student affiliates!

Soon after joining Editors Canada in 2019, I attended the annual conference in Halifax. I felt both excited and anxious to be spending the weekend meeting other editors.

Some Notes on Networking on LinkedIn for Editors

juin 8, 2021 by Tanya Mykhaylychenko

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. […]
