Atlantic twig members: On Wednesday, November 17 we’ll be hosting a presentation by Jenny Higgins, former Wikipedian-in-residence at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies at Memorial University. 6:30 pm Atlantic time, 7:00 pm NL time. Email atlantic@editors.ca for the Zoom link.
The objective of the workshop is to prepare participants for a healthy, mutually-beneficial mentoring relationship, whether mentor or mentee, that will help them to improve their editing practice. Working in your editing business
usually means taking courses, workshops, or other professional development activities readily available online. Working on your editing business can be more tricky. That’s where a mentor can come in.
This online workshop will be presented by twig member Virginia McGowan, PhD. Located in Charlottetown, Virginia is a writer, editor, researcher, author, trainer, and mentor. She is an engaging professional with a broad range of experience. Check out her impressive CV here.
