Happy Holidays and Year in Review

It’s time for our Year in Review! Check out our list of posts from 2018 and tell us your favourites in the comments.

Have you ever thought of writing an article for the Editors’ Weekly? We’re looking for articles on the following topics:

• How you got started as an editor
• Events you’ve attended, such as conferences and workshops
• Ways you’ve been inspired by other writers or editors
• How Editors Canada has helped your career

Send us an email if any of these resonate. Or tell us if you have a different idea for a blog post.

As we get ready to enter the new year, we’d like to thank everyone who contributed to the blog or read the blog in 2018. A special thank you goes to Erin Bankes, who proofreads posts, formats them in WordPress, chooses images and writes the social media announcements.

The Editors’ Weekly will be back on Jan. 8, 2018.

Happy Holidays!
