“All good English was once bad English.” That’s a quote from @sesquiotic.bsky.social at #ACES2026.

One of my most-anticipated #ACES2026 sessions is starting! "Boosting Your Editing Efficiency (Without Using Generative AI)" by the wonderful Crystal Yang @redpenrabbit.bsky.social! #amediting #freelanceeditor #editorsky #editing #copyediting #copyeditor #copyedit #productivity #ACESBoostingEditing

I'm not at #ACES2026 but have been looking forward to @carolinavonkampen.com's excellent live session reports. And here's the first one on giving authors useful feedback by Christina Frey.

The amendment is now LIVE!!! The 17th edition was clear on this, but the 18th edition literally got rid of the one mention of this rule even though it was still supposed to apply. They've added it back thanks to moi 😎 Honestly props to the CMOS editors—they've been great! #AmEditing

Interested in how language, medicine & law cross paths? What a medicolegal editor does? Read my @editingglobally.bsky.social colleague @ettyp.bsky.social's informative piece on medicolegal editing and why precision is key. www.editingglobally.com/blog/uncateg... #AmEditing #medicine #law #language

A thing that pisses me off re: AI in #editing conversations is...what kind of conversations could we be having if we didn't have to talk about AI all the time? Like all the professional development, #creativity, heart and soul of editing that we could be discussing instead of AI. #amediting

Call for contributions for @the-ciep.bsky.social's annual conference is now open. The theme, drawing directly from a talk by Dr Sara Kitaoji at last year's conference, is 'More than words: The evolving role of the editorial profession'. www.ciep.uk/events/ciep-... www.linkedin.com/posts/ayesha...

To query or not to query? Ever wondered what editors' queries are all about? Read @scieditor.ca's practical piece discussing the different types of questions editors can ask an author while working on their text, and querying good practice for #editors. #writers www.linkedin.com/posts/editin...

Listen to @freshlookediting.ca and Jamaal Pittman chat on *The Copy Editor's (Life)Style Guide*, embracing connections, owning mistakes, and the importance of showing up as your whole true self in editing, professionally and personally. www.linkedin.com/posts/editin... #BookClub #AcademicEditing

Look what some of Editing Globally colleagues are up to! @ebrenner.bsky.social, @janetwordsmith.bsky.social and @aalaptrivedi.bsky.social are speaking on 'Working globally and what editors need to know about international clients'. Join them for @editorscanada.bsky.social's conference! #AmEditing

My 7yo is ill. I'm not the preferred cook in our household. But I made a light khichuri yesterday with yellow moong dal (easy to digest), cauliflower and peas, and my child wanted seconds. My child likes to cook. Maybe he will make it for me one day. #FoodStories

Vegetarians! Vegans! Anyone who enjoys cooking! Here's a thread of recipes for the veggie / vegan dishes I cook regularly and which have helped me massively cut down on the amount of meat I eat these days. First, a cheap, easy., quick dal which *everyone* should be able to cook:

Gratitude post to thank @rashmiwriting.bsky.social and Jason Lyons for a magical book and excellent learning resource. We borrowed *Amazing Asia* from the library, but my child likes it so much, he wants his own copy. He even made his own Great Wall of China! #books #libraries #homework

An exceptionally thoughtful presentation on conscious language use & ethical editing, identifying colonial perspectives, and assessing how & when to intervene in the written word as editors. Pause, reflect, share, initiate & continue those difficult conversations. www.linkedin.com/posts/ayesha...

Continuing professional development season is very much a year-long activity for @editingglobally.bsky.social members. Check out what team members are up to this week! www.linkedin.com/posts/editin... Will you be there? Do say hi if you are going to attend. #CPD #ConsciousLanguage #AmEditing

This. We need to educate ourselves enough to take a stand. Not sit on the fence or spread/start from a point of fear that stops ourselves and other people from learning objectively and making this decision. #editing #publishing

Sorry, lovely people, but I'm not both-siding genAI. It's killing our planet, it's destroying people's lives and brains, it's enriching the already too rich. Yes, having conversations about it and educating people is important, but to me, that doesn't include acceptance or working with users.

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. #editors #EdsGuild2025

Session 2 of #EdsGuild2025 Helping Indie Authors Thrive Without a Traditional Publisher, presented by @eilisflynn.bsky.social Takeaways: different author types (newbie, trad, indie, hybrid, veteran) have unique challenges & expectations. Editors need to understand perspectives & customize support.

Session 1 of #EdsGuild2025 Building Bridges: Networking for Freelance Editors, presented by Linda Ruggeri. My takeaways: share positivity and grace in building trust, bring yourself wholly to collaborations, create bridges for and within the community. It takes one conversation step to start.

Keynote on 'Editing in the Age of AI' at the Red Pencil Conference by @janefriedman.com who reminds us of 'Amara's Law (or the Law of Humility): we tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run'. #EdsGuild2025

Editors, who else is nervously excited about the @edsguild.bsky.social's Red Pencil Conference today? #AmEditing #conference #EdsGuild www.linkedin.com/posts/ayesha...

'The power of language lies not just in what it describes, but in what it disguises. When words obscure who holds dominance, that dominance goes unchallenged.' -- Sharon Kyle in '"Diverse" Does Not Mean "Not White"' #racism #ConsciousLanguage www.linkedin.com/posts/ayesha...

Are we a flock of editing professionals? A group of edibuddies? An animated library maybe? A bunch of pencils? A query of editors? @janetwordsmith.bsky.social writes about who/what @editingglobally.bsky.social is, why we've chosen to be a collective and what that means for clients. #publishing

Hot off the press! Editing and #writing people, I did a thing! Excited to be part of the @editingglobally.bsky.social collective and expand the reach of my editing services with an exceptional bunch of colleagues. Check out our website and spread the word. We're happy to chat about how we can help.

'What differentiates us from machines is not what we do or how we do it. It's why.' A spectacular first session of @the-ciep.bsky.social's annual conference. #ciep2025 lnkd.in/p/eKr98U3C

Day 1 of @the-ciep.bsky.social's annual conference. I will not be live reporting for the first time, but I look forward to the online buzz shared. I'll be there in the virtual spaces, so do say hi if you're at conference -- in-person or online. Has anyone used the hashtag yet?! #ciep2025

I did it again. All in the search for elusive perfection. Don't make the same mistake, and go make in-case-of-emergency plans. For your editing business but also for life. #ProofPros #EmergencyPlans

Civic courage and moral clarity. Apparently, humanity needs reminding. #DifficultConversations #education #genocide
