It’s so important that #editors and #proofreaders consider the #feelings of the #author behind the words. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/newyorkcitycopyeditor_most-editing-jobs-are-routine-this-one-activity-7401635257181163520-Is3N?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAACBLh8BKizVOxJMKKqeH-rrEMhwmUcweK4

#Editors and #proofreaders, here’s great resource from industry leader Louise Harnby on getting #work: https://www.louiseharnbyproofreader.com/work.html

A #colleague is looking forward to reading this book, and I think #editors and #proofreaders — and everyone else — might find it useful: #Unlearning #Ableism: The Ultimate, No-Nonsense Guide to #Understanding #Disability and #Unlearning #Ableism. https://disabledbysociety.com/unlearning-ableism-the-ultimate-no-nonsense-guide-to-understanding-disability-and-unlearning-ableism/

Hey, #editors and #proofreaders, hurry & sign up for the Editorial Freelancers Association's August 14 live #webinar "Indexes Explained for Non-indexers," led by @closereadingie. Your work will be faster & easier when you understand how #indexes really work! https://community.the-efa.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1963774&group=

@belldotbz I have a need for #proofreaders for
it, de, zh-CN, pt-BR and es-ES
of our already (yes, machine++) #translated material. Experience w/ #Trados Studio or Teams a plus. ~300 pages of niche technical material in each target lang.

DM me here.

#FediHire #translation #GetFediHired #xl8 #l10n

++ its not bad (so my target language speaking coworkers say) but you gotta know going in; gonna be a lot of mangled gender and tense to fix dictionary term mismatches.

Well, I'm desperate, so here we go...

If anyone is in need of a copywriter or knows of any openings, I need a job. I've got 18 years of copywriting/copyediting/communications experience across a range of industries.

Remote positions are preferable."

"Concentrate on the negatives" -

#Proofreaders Everywhere.

I've been chatting with some peers about human vs. AI #editors and #proofreaders, and job search resources for #freelance creatives. My brand-new blog post is very related: how to engage with #smallbusiness so they see the value of #editing and #proofreading.

Please take a gander and then comment below -- I'd love to continue the discussion here in the #Fediverse! #GetFediHired @edibuddies

"Your Teen Realizes That Editing Matters … Will Small Businesses Follow Suit?"

I'd be very happy to follow and be followed by other #copyeditors and #proofreaders. Don't be shy, and do say hello if you're out there!

Unfortunate sentence break and this promo from the Washington Post. 😜 #proofreaders

#Editors and #proofreaders, this is wise counsel: You are not required to be #perfect. #perfectionism #Bookstodon https://blog.ciep.uk/overcoming-perfectionism/

For all of you aspiring #proofreaders and #subeditors out there in the social media wilderness, please let us know if you find any #mistakes at our #website. We do like to keep everything pristine, so any such notifications will be gratefully received. 😊

Over on the #birdsite #TimeMagazine are having a really bad day.

This is why #proofreaders and #editors, and those with at least a basic grasp of geography are so important!

Giving TIME the benefit of the doubt I wonder if the headline was meant to say:

"How Ukraine's dam collapse could become the country's second Chernobyl

Wow! Two infamous errors in one #proofreading project. I feel so USEFUL!

This project had 1 instance of "Dr. Spock" where "Mr. Spock" was needed, and 1 instance of "Ernest Hemmingway." (S/be "Hemingway.")

I've wanted to join the ranks of "Hemingway fixers" for years and I finally got the chance. 24 years as an #editor and I still get a thrill out of a good catch.

Remember, people, #proofreaders are your last line of defense. Don't skip this valuable step before publication.
