The Editor's Blog

You are an editor. Your friends and colleagues say you are nit-picky and anal, but you know the truth: You just like being right. The Editor's Blog is designed to be both a resource for you (whether "editor" is your job title or obsession) and a sounding board for you to share the many annoying and egregious errors you come across to others who will appreciate them (because your husband or sister or roommate is tired of listening to you). I hope you will share editing experiences and opinions on certain subjective edits like the serial comma and UK vs. U.S. English, as well as grammar bloopers, pet peeves, and other questions and/or reference materials you have. If anything, I hope this blog spares you the embarrassment of asking a friend or colleague a question that they think (and you know) you should know the answer to. After all, you like being right.

Editing Jobby Jobs

Occupational Outlook for Writers and Editors from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a fact-finding agency for the Federal Government in the broad field of labor economics and statistics

Note from Miss Editrix: Don't take this site too seriously.

Hire an editor or become a freelance editor:
Associated Writers and Editors (AWE) are independent professionals, based in Washington, D.C., with years of experience in national and international fields. Services include researching, organizing, and writing reports; editing articles, books, and technical volumes; designing and marketing products; preparing policy analyses, conference discussion papers, and journal articles; and starting up publications and publishing programs.

Note from Miss Editrix: I've used AWE. They are great, especially for texts
written by non-native English speakers.

The Editorial Freelancers Association is a national, nonprofit, professional organization of self-employed workers in the publishing and communications industries.
