New edition
Erin Brenner has put together an amazing resource for editors adjusting to the new edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (including the electric yellow rectangle on the web version).

Triage
Celebration
If you’re planning to attend the Editors Canada conference (June 21–23) in Vancouver and would be interested in picking up a copy of An Editorial Cartoon in person, please fill out this form by May 25, and I’ll contact you to make arrangements.
Because I can order directly from the printer (and assuming I get enough interest to put in a bulk order), I can offer a modest discount—and of course you’d save on shipping. See the form for details!
As usual, one dollar from each copy sold will be donated to the Indigenous Editors Association.

Due diligence
Sometimes the most important editing is invisible, even to clients.
I’ll be leading a 3-hour seminar on fact checking for Editors BC in spring 2024. It will be online—open to everyone—and include hands-on exercises. If you have any burning fact-checking questions you’d like me to answer at that session, please get in touch!
