Confessions d’un copain du congrès (coordonnatrice)

mai 9, 2017 by Sue Archer

Je me souviens de ma toute première inscription au congrès de Réviseurs Canada, en 2014. À ce moment, je n’avais jamais porté le titre de « réviseur », mais, après plusieurs années à jongler avec les mots dans le cadre de divers postes, j’ai réalisé que c’était là ce que je faisais réellement depuis tout ce temps. J’étais […]

Confessions of a Conference Buddy (Coordinator)

mai 9, 2017 by Sue Archer | 2 commentaires sur Confessions of a Conference Buddy (Coordinator)

I remember when I signed up for my first Editors Canada conference back in 2014. At the time, I’d never held the job title of “editor,” but after years of working in jobs where I’d managed to feed my need to wrangle with words, I’d come to realize it was the role I’d been living […]

Review: The Complete Canadian Book Editor by Leslie Vermeer

novembre 29, 2016 by Sue Archer | 3 commentaires sur Review: The Complete Canadian Book Editor by Leslie Vermeer

Oh, My Aching Eyeballs!

août 16, 2016 by Sue Archer | 18 commentaires sur Oh, My Aching Eyeballs!

Lately, I find myself wishing I’d picked a profession where I didn’t need to look at computer screens. Or read a lot. Or use my eyes at all, really. (Being a taste tester at a chocolate factory sounds like an attractive career change right about now.) My distance vision has always been terrible, but now […]

“Hello, Ms. Client? I’m Sue Archer from Customer Relations, and I’m calling to follow up with you about your complaint.” I’ve performed a number of difficult jobs in my life, but by far the most challenging one was a call centre role where I dealt solely with complaints. Every day it was my job to […]

Review: Correct English: Reality or Myth? by Geoffrey Marnell

septembre 22, 2015 by Sue Archer | 4 commentaires sur Review: Correct English: Reality or Myth? by Geoffrey Marnell

I’m sure all of us, as editors, have encountered heated discussions about the notion of “correct” English. It’s an inescapable occupational hazard. With the prescriptivists in one corner and the descriptivists in the other, the debate continually rages on. I was curious to know if Geoffrey Marnell would bring anything new to the discussion with […]
