I talked about one of my favorite topics — dictionaries — with members of the Association of Earth Science Editors as they gathered here in Columbus. The best part of being an editor is the lifelong learning it provides, and I learned a few things about rocks and climate change at my first in-person conference in two years. Interested in learning all about the current state of dictionaries in the U.S.? Let me know.

I also shared my bookshelf at the Editors Canada national conference, via Zoom, and in person at the national conference of ACES: The Society for Editing. My talk was "The Editor's Library: Essential tools for bookshelf and browser." I also created a web page for a handout with links to some of my favorite resources.

Along with dictionaries talk and "The Editor's Library," I'm offering two other presentations to your editorial department: "What's New in Style" is an overview of updates to the Associated Press Stylebook, the Chicago Manual of Style and the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association, and "Edit Sober" a talk about the best advice I've heard in 35 years of editing. Let's chat.
