Today we check in with Effie, #StetPet editorial assistant of Halifax editor @choicewordsedit.bsky.social, who attended the virtual #EdsGuild2025 Red Pencil Conference.

"Conferences are wonderful but they can also be a lot, so I’m grateful to Effie for reminding me to take breaks when I need them!"

Meet Roo, #StetPet editorial assistant of Seattle-area author and #EdsGuild Red Pencil attendee @matthewrehrl.bsky.social.

"I was looking forward to the #EdsGuild2025 Red Pencil Conference at the Lynnwood Event Center, but—sadly—my #StetPet Roo isn’t quite as fond of red pencils! 😉"

Giant Pencil is still resting after the #EdsGuild2025 Red Pencil Conference, but our free virtual editing events are still going strong for your learning and networking fun! Free to attend, most open to all editors, registration required.

Program for NW Editors Guild Red Pencil Conference

Had a great time at the Red Pencil Conference and I totally fan-girled on @janefriedman.com who was so gracious. If you are in the book business, get her new book and sign up for her newsletter. She's full of insights. #edsguild2025 #editors #writers 💙📚

The Red Pencil Conference owes me nothing. I gave a well-received talk on some of the best practices from my book, The Copy Editor’s (Life)Style Guide. It was wonderful catching up with old editor friends and getting to know new ones in Lynnwood as a presenter. #EdsGuild2025 #RedPencil2025

Red Pencil 2025 was amazing! Thank you to all the speakers and volunteers. I started gathering the committee and planning over a year ago, and there's nothing more satisfying than seeing all our work culminate in such a joyful, thought-provoking, convivial day! #edsguild2025 @edsguild.bsky.social

For example: @janefriedman.com: approach the use of AI in publishing w/o blaming & shaming. @jamaaldpittman.bsky.social: building relationships is as important as the actual editing, as is authenticity. @literarylaura.bsky.social: be compassionate to yourself about your own needs.

#EdsGuild2025

Currently decompressing after the awesome @edsguild.bsky.social Red Pencil conference. I realized that there was a through line for me from the keynote and all the sessions I attended: editors need to lean in to their humanity and come from a place of compassion and empathy.

Session 4 of #EdsGuild2025 Keeping Grounded: Work-Life Balance for Freelancers, presented by @laurapoole.bsky.social. Every example feels like Laura's in my head. 😂 If you're wondering what happened to my live report for Session 3 or this, I foresaw Laura's advice and said yes to resting my hand. 🤷🏾

Such a great keynote address on AI and editing by @janefriedman.com at today's @edsguild.bsky.social Red Pencils conference.

One key takeaway: How we approach the issue is as important as the issue itself.

Your conference might be cool, but I bet you don't have a giant pencil mascot photo opp. @edsguild.bsky.social's Red Pencil conference is the best!

The hidden curves of the Gartner hype cycle The traditional Gartner Hype Cycle curve only represents the outcome of 20% of innovations, the paths of the rest are largely hidden from view.

Thank you to @janefriedman.com for the informative keynote this morning at the Red Pencil Conference! I especially appreciated learning about the Gartner hype cycle. If you're curious check out:
