I’m lucky enough to get to talk shop with Rachel regularly – she’s smart and experienced, and I trust her instincts and ethics. I think she would be great on the EFA board. #amediting #edibuddies
US #edibuddies and others familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style: Can 'etc.' ever take an initial capital, or should it always be lowercased? And could anyone point me at the right CMoS page to cite on this, as I've searched and searched and can't find what I need! Thanks in advance :-)
I talked at my "local" CIEP editors club the other day about contracts. I love discussing with my Cloud East colleagues. Many of us work with clients outside the countries we live in and are resigned to certain limitations 😅 #edibuddies @the-ciep.bsky.social

I love it when an author has clearly thought through their document. It makes editing a joy! #AmEditing #Edibuddies
Word I would like to nuke from orbit today: "key."
They're performance indicators. They're personnel. The fact that you're talking about them gives away that they're important.
(No, I don't actually edit out the K from KPI. But I would like to.)

Just a simple #FreelanceLife appreciation post. Woke up to snow on the ground 😭 - but I don't have to go to an office and can ease into my day. First: a few extra minutes to enjoy my tea. #edibuddies

I'm excited to attend the Mar 19 @acesediting.bsky.social webinar on developing an idea into a full-fledged presentation. I'm prepping for a new business phase that will include public speaking. It'll be uncomfortable, but valuable. No doubt I'll be taking lots of notes! #Introvert #Edibuddies

Predict/prevent MEANS before it happens, you don't have to say it TWICE.

#edibuddies, what do you do when there are lots of AI tells in your document? I'm speaking beyond our ability to consistently edit the tells away, and I'm curious as to your different approaches to informing your client it's noticeable and offering suggestions. (Non-judgmentally!) #editorsky
Editing endnotes, the following phrase caught my eye:
"Stria Terminalis Has Sex."
...The complete title reads "Inhibition of Vasopressin V1a Receptors in the Medioventral Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis Has Sex- and Context-Specific Anxiogenic Effects."
#disappointed #edibuddies #editorsky
The mindset shift from competitor to collaborator. Instead of telling a potential client, "I don't offer that," say: "Let me connect you with the right specialists."
Here's the mindset shift from competitor to collaborator for #publishing processionals
❌ "I don't offer that service."
✅ "Let me connect you with the right specialists."
