Turning up to a conference is easy; putting it all into practice back at the desk can be a bit trickier. #IPEdConf2019 @IPEd_Conf @IPEditors @EditorsVic @Offpress @EditorsNSW https://t.co/B0Tyr6Dusf
The Institute of Professional Editors Ltd. held their conference 8–10 May. There have been some great threads on #IPEdConf2019. https://t.co/l7RDKKDIvD
Capitalisation: a source of much pompousness and anger #IPEdConf2019
Final tips for editors from @pennymodra: charge a lot, and share your knowledge. #amediting #IPEdConf2019 @IPEd_Conf @IPEditors @TheGoodCopy
.@pennymodra: I force people to do voice and tone last in a style guide because it’s what people want to do first #IPEdConf2019
.@pennymodra offering a fantastic veneration (also enshrined in B+P style) of NOT capitalising job titles. ‘So the marketing manager gets capitalisation? What about the cleaner?’ They realise it’s respecting some people and not others #IPEdConf2019
Editing is really about exercising judgement, not what’s ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ #IPEdConf2019
Editing in the age of content.. If you have to convince the marketing manager that good writing is important, talk about branding instead of words. #IPEdConf2019 @pennymodra @IPEd_Conf
Angela recommends that editors should involve themselves in writerly practices to improve their structural editing processes. #IPEdConf2019
Angela: Skills in developmental and structural editing that can be enhanced by the writing process include: empathy, ear for and pacing of story, intuition of story elements, imaginative capacity, and specialisation. #IPEdConf2019
Since her book was about Rohingya, Michelle usually deferred to the Rohingya reader when using words with political connotations. #IPEdConf2019
Michelle Aung Thiin talks about the authenticity of writing and editing, and gives the example of her work, where she immediately stumbled onto the problem of whether to use Myanmar or Burma. #IPEdConf2019
140 characters can't do justice to @belinda_pollard's brilliant tips for editors working with personal trauma stories. "Be a human first and an editor second," she advises.
I'm clinging to the advice to "limit imagination". @IPED_Conf #IPEDConf2019
Caitlin Punshon draws on the similarities between editors and people living with illness – diligence, expertise, discernment, prioritising what is vital, shaping material and making meaning – and instructs "be excessively gentle with yourself". @IPED_Conf #IPEDConf2019
Editors must make ethical judgements about statements that are not inclusive while keeping true to the author's beliefs and experiences. Thanks for your work and wisdom @sairamanns @IPED_Conf #IPEDConf2019
I've been looking forward to @sairamanns session on the ethical considerations of editing an autobiographical work by a deceased relative at @IPED_Conf #IPEDConf2019
Too many incredible stories from my grandparents that need to be told and remembered.
"New words: we love them and hate them. 'Bromance' raises eyebrows. Even I thought it was a magazine word with brief popularity, but we're still talking about it." – Susan Butler, former editor of @MacqDictionary @IPED_Conf #IPEDConf2019
A room full of chuckles and nods as Susan Butler, former editor of @MacqDictionary, talks about the overuse of the word 'literally'. @IPED_Conf #IPEDConf2019
Susan Butler decries the incorrect use of the word ‘literally’ but admits she can’t fight it becoming a word of emphasis in common usage #IPEdConf19
