Our good friend Erin Brenner returns as our guest for our second April episode of That Word Chat.

Besides being one of the original producers for That Word Chat and a guest on one of our most popular episodes, Brenner is the author of the forthcoming book, The Chicago Guide for Freelance Editors: How to Take Care of Your Business, Your Clients, and Yourself from Start-up to Sustainability.

 

The much-anticipated book publishes in April.

Brenner is the owner of editorial services firm Right Touch Editing, which specializes in providing small and midsized organizations with writing and editing teams. She shares her expertise through editor coaching and website reviews for editors, as well as through her blog, The Writing Resource, and industry events.

 

She has also written Marketing Yourself guide (with Sarah Hulse) for the UK's Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, Copyediting’s Grammar Tune-Up Workbook, and 1001 Words for Success: Synonyms, Antonyms & Homonyms.


When she's not working, she enjoys knitting, reading, hiking, and traveling, mug of tea in hand.

We work hard to bring you a casual, fun, usually professional experience. What keeps us going most is hearing how much you love the experience. Please consider being part of the team with various levels of support, each with some cool benefits — most levels include access to our private Slack group. You can opt to support us monthly or annually. 

Possibly Important Notes

 Your credit card will be charged monthly or annually, but you are welcome to change things at any time.

Terms are subject to change, as is life in general.

Private access to recorded chats means you can download them and use them yourself, share with your pets and immediate family, and
use them in whole or in part (give us credit, please) in a classroom or for other nonprofit educational purposes.
 Mark Allen Editorial LLC retains the copyright. Same goes for the show transcripts.

Benefits listed above are for the live show on Zoom, and we may mix things up or do something totally different on other platforms.

We apologize in advance for any delays in providing any of the benefits listed. We'll do our best, but we sometimes get busy with our day jobs. If you are having trouble finding a benefit or did not receive a benefit, please let us know.
