Authenticity Reader (Published Feb 17)
Editors Canada is looking for an authenticity reader to help with a short-term project. The Editors Canada publications committee needs an authenticity reader for Editing With Respect: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Handbook 2025. This resource is intended to be a living document and will be updated as EDI best practices evolve.
Project Details
The handbook is a starting point for editors interested in learning to edit consciously and sensitively. It aims to help editors ensure their knowledge and points of reference are relevant, flag concerns, be aware of cultural and historical contexts, keep up with language changes, use specific terminology, and query
when needed. The document is approximately 7,000 words (not including the references section).
A few topics explored in the document that require feedback from an authenticity reader include:
- the differences between editors and authenticity readers;
- recommended practices for inclusive language;
- identity-first and people-first language;
- and editing content for, about, and with Indigenous Peoples.
Position Responsibilities
- assess this document for offensive or inaccurate content, bias,
- misrepresentations and any gaps
- provide feedback to the publications committee
- review the final draft prior to publication
We strongly encourage applications from authenticity readers who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, a person of colour), or as members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, or as people living with disabilities, or other marginalized groups. We value applicants with lived experiences and relevant backgrounds that would enrich this resource.
Project Timeline: This is a remote short-term project. Multiple rounds of review will be needed.
Payment: A stipend of approximately $150–250 will be provided upon completion of the work.
Application deadline: Feb 28, 2026.
