Editing Workshop in Traverse City Available for Early Birds
When making your travel plans for Traverse City, don't forget to arrive in time for the PubSIG's editing workshop, Instruction for Those Who Make Others Look Good. Held on Monday, June 9—the day before the ACE conference begins—this fun and challenging daylong workshop is sure to sharpen the editing skills of both newbie as well as more seasoned editors. The fee is $75 and sign-up will be included on the ACE conference registration form. The workshop is open to all ACE members but attendance is limited to 40 people.
Workshop trainers are Susan E. Allan, instructor for the University of Chicago’s Graham School of General Studies editing program, and Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor-at-large.
Allan, currently managing editor of the American Journal of Sociology, specializes in interpreting editorial rules in a wide range of publishing contexts and media. She has served as a copy editor at the University of Chicago Press journals division and also as a freelance copy editor. In 2007, she received the Graham School’s 2007 Excellence in Teaching award.
Sokolowski represents Merriam-Webster in national author tours and in radio and television interviews such as his monthly language discussion on Southern California’s KKZZ radio. He records podcasts of Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day and monitors entries to the interactive Merriam-Webster’s Open Dictionary—two popular features of the Merriam-Webster OnLine Web site.
Come early to the ACE annual meeting, enjoy outstanding trainers, and learn practical skills you’ll definitely use back on the job!
