Webinar: Communicating with authors: How to provide comments they'll accept
Join us on Thursday 30 January for a webinar on communicating with authors, delivered by Ruth Thaler-Carter.
Editors work with a variety of authors – colleagues, employees, clients and more; even friends and family members – and not all of them are used to being edited. Even experienced, well-published, professional writers can take offence at comments about or corrections of their work; co-workers and first-time authors are especially likely to respond badly to being edited. It’s easy to unwittingly make comments and queries that can come across as harsh enough to put people off and make them resist our input. This session will offer tips for providing diplomatic comments and editing approaches that prevent alienating, scaring or angering authors, to make it more likely that our editing input will be accepted.
Bookings will close on Thursday 30 January at 3pm (GMT). The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be available to CIEP members in the On demand section of the website.
