North East Editors

We are editors and proofreaders in North East England. We ran a mini-conference #SfEPNEConf on 22 May 2019. It went so well we might do another one sometime.

👽 Here's a valuable reminder of why overwriting alienates even academic audiences and why plain English may have more impact... Check out the SfEP's guide to plain English editing or learn the top tips and tricks with our course: https://t.co/USFBS2jKkt

A ludicrous thread AND a blog post? I'm really spoiling you lot today :)

THREAD: The freelance hustle is HARD. A question I often see from new editors, and one I know I had in the beginning, is “How do I find clients?” It’s the big one – how can you build a business without clients? How can you pay your bills if you can’t find people to hire you? /1

@prideandjoyedit Hi Joy, you could try @colleaguesontap who run #coworking days in Durham and Consett, as well as in other venues around the North East. https://t.co/cOgfWibs2K

[North East Editors @NEEditors]

Does anyone in the Durham area have suggestions for co-working spaces for @prideandjoyedit please?

[Joy Coutts @prideandjoyedit]

@NEEditors could I avail myself of your collective knowledge please? Are there any co-working spaces in the Durham area that anyone knows of? Many thanks

I’m heading to #EGX2019 next week on one of the rare occasions that I leave the north and visit the Big Smoke. I’m keen to meet up with as many freelancers, editors and developers as possible, so let me know if you’ll be there too!

Here I am, asking the important questions of the day over on Kotaku UK.

The people have a right to know.

Apparently it was #NationalPunctuationDay in the US yesterday. So because I'm always one to miss a trick, here's my post on the different punctuation marks:

I'm still pretty tired, so anyone expecting a serious and insightful write-up of #SfEP2019, containing proper paragraphs and sensible thoughts, is going to just have to make do with this list of random musings and in-jokes.

It's amazing how shit actually gets done when you, y'know, do it. So you there – yes, you – if you have some shit that needs to get done, do the shit. Right now.

I wrote about the #editing mini-conference in Newcastle for the @TheSfEP's magazine Editing Matters, where we discussed efficient editing, #marketing your #freelance business, and the state of #academic #publishing.

Nice blog by @AnnieDeakins for @TheSfEP about the @NEEditors #SfEPNEConf. It was a great conference, with a wonderful sense of community, kindness and helpfulness.

Editors and proofreaders flocked to Newcastle last month for the first North East (of England) mini-conference. @AnnieDeakins gives us the rundown.
