It might be Valentine\u2019s Day, but here at Editing Globally there\u2019s another milestone to celebrate! Today marks the first anniversary of Editing Globally. It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s been a year since we launched, but in some respects, it feels like much longer too as we\u2019ve all done so much, both separately and as part of a team, in that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we launched one year ago today, we did so with the mission statement of providing seamless and thorough editorial services by pooling our knowledge and resources. Our aim was to offer clients full support from manuscript evaluations right the way through to the finished product and to be able to take on large or very time-sensitive projects that just wouldn\u2019t be possible for one editor to handle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happily, we can report back that during the last year, we have done exactly that. We\u2019ve worked on some great projects together, sometimes with just a couple of members taking part and other times with all five of us getting involved. The range of work we\u2019ve taken on has been varied and interesting, too; we\u2019ve been able to help clients with memoirs, novels, legal documents, marketing materials, blog posts, business reports, and plenty more. We\u2019ve also learned a lot from each other. Being able to collaborate over pieces of work and see how each of us handles certain things has made all of us better editors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we begin our second year of Editing Globally, we have lots of plans in the pipeline. Janet and Katherine can now provide training to other editors in a variety of subjects, including working with students, general copy-editing, fiction editing, working with independent authors, and working with publishers. There\u2019s also a six-part blog series on working on dissertations and theses coming soon. At least three of us\u00a0(Janet, Katherine, and Kelly)\u00a0will be presenting at the Society for Editors and\u00a0Proofreaders (SFEP) conference in Lancaster in September too, after Janet and Katherine, along with friend and colleague Erin Brenner, led a very successful panel on rates at last year\u2019s conference. And we recently started work for a large international firm, handling the proofreading of all external communications \u2013 a task that would be impossible for one editor to handle alone, not least because of the numerous time zones in which the\u00a0client\u00a0has offices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are all looking forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead and to a year filled with interesting work, professional development, and most of all, friendship!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
