If you are involved or interested in academic editing, the Academic Editing (AE) special interest group will allow you to build your professional network, share information and discuss relevant topics. Our regular programming includes a monthly coffee chat, where editors come together for small-group, casual conversations on a given topic; an academic editing book club (occasionally with Q&As with the author); and networking events, where members of the community share insights, tools and resources.
Our efforts are run by volunteers who are members of Editors Canada or EFA, and both organizations market the chapter events and provide support. Editors of any experience level are welcome and you do not have to be a member to participate.
For the most up-to-date information, please visit the corresponding page on the EFA website: Editorial Freelancers Association.
