That’s a wrap on #CIEP2023 then. I loved what I saw and glad to have much more still to catch up on. Huge thanks to all involved.

I’ll just leave this extract here from No Fond Return of Love by Barbara Pym. It opens at a conference for editors and indexers. Ahem.

Extract from the novel No Fond Return of Love by Barbara Pym. ‘I believe it’s the first time a conference of this sort has been held here. I know they have “religious bodies”, and writers, too, I believe. I suppose we’re writers, in a way.’ ‘Yes, we might call ourselves that.’ Viola had taken out her lipstick and was applying it almost savagely, as if she were determined to make herself look as unlike somebody who worked on the dustier fringes of the academic world as possible. Dulcie gazed fascinated at the result, but the brilliant coral-coloured mouth in the sallow face certainly looked bizarre and striking, and made her slightly dissatisfied with her own careful ‘natural’ make-up. ‘It’s an unusual idea having a conference of people like us,’ said Dulcie. ‘Do we all correct proofs, make bibliographies and indexes, and do all the rather humdrum thankless tasks for people more brilliant than ourselves?’

Two themed networking sessions done to kick off the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP)'s annual conference for me:

1. where I'd like my business to be in 5 years;

2. training I've most enjoyed/want to do.

3. I don't have a plan beyond finding new challenges;

4. I'm doing an academic DE course and want to practice 'critical generosity'* in editing more deliberately (and in hindsight that's my permanent goal!).

I’ve just booked an online place for #CIEP2023 (Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading conference) with hours to spare till the deadline. 😬

I may not be able to join in the whole thing live but hoping to catch up with some of you #edibuddies there, from here or wherever!
