Editing slam

In this workshop, Nandini Bedi and Danielle N. Carter will discuss various aspects of the editing workflow. Participants will work together to edit a short humanities-based text, and then we’ll discuss the edits together, different decisions editors can make, different approaches to issues of style and grammar, and the editorial workflow (e.g. tools to use, style sheets, communication with clients).

For beginners, this behind-the-scenes look at how editors approach a text is a good way to become more familiar with editorial workflow and decision-making; for more experienced editors, we can share our expertise and different approaches and learn from one another, because no two editors work in the same way.

Time: 9:45–11:00
Room: 2
