Dear Editors Canada members and community,
Editors Canada is pleased to introduce a new French-language
video series titled “La révision vue par”.
In this series, francophone editors share their backgrounds, their passion for language and their perspective on the profession. Whether you’re an editing professional, a student or simply someone curious to learn more about the editing industry, you’ll get an authentic look at what it means to be an editor today.
The series is now available for free on the Editors Canada YouTube channel.
