It is a lovely place for a walk and a coffee! There’s a coffee shop me and my friend go to after our morning walks. Such a lovely way to start the day! 😊

Slightly overcast today on my morning #stetwalk. Still good to see some #nature. 😊

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Thank you! 😊

I have deep respect for people with pure hearts and good intentions.

It’s rare to find someone who’s genuinely kind, so if you’re lucky enough to have one in your life, keep them close.
People like that are worth holding on to

Excellent article and interview with Molly McCowan on AI and copy editing!

Small mound of soil with little succulents and sedum planted in it, surrounded by landscape rocks and a little wall at the back.

Built a little #succulent #garden today! 🌵💚 Will add more succulents later 😊 #succulents #cactus #nature #gardening #plantsky #succulentsaturday #saturdaygarden

Loved this! It was on my Sunday morning newspaper round mixtape! 📰🎵

It’s okay to feel what you feel.
You’re not exaggerating.
You’re not too much.
You’re allowed to feel hurt,
to struggle,
to take your time.
Your feelings are valid, always

Please hold on

Please don’t give up

This is adorable! She even picked a bag to match the outfit! 🥰

I had such a good time I forgot to use quotation marks! 🤣

A woman with shoulder-length hair and glasses, a blonde woman wearing headphones and an I love grammar t-shirt, and a bald man on with a blue shirt chatting on Zoom.

Had such a good time interviewing Ellen Jovin and Brandt Johnson @grammartable.bsky.social about their movie Rebel With A Clause for #ciep2025!

TV personality, wordsmith and author Susie Dent on a projector screen. She has shoulder-length brown hair is wearing glasses and a dark cardigan. She is on Zoom with a long piece of art behind her on the wall and a window to her left.

So lovely to have a live Q&A with @susiedent.com at the #ciep2025 conference!

Two tuxedo cats sitting on a desk next to a book on copy editing. One is asleep with her head resting on the other, who is looking out of the window behind them.

My editing assistants don’t seem to be very focused on the job today! 😑😹

Editors!

Have you heard about the new CIEP Competency Framework? It's a tool for editors to assess skills, spot gaps, and plan their CPD.

It's free to use, and you do not have to be a member to use it.

Join the webinar to find out more!

Hi Editors,

OpenAI’s new “cookbook” for agents is out, but it’s pretty code-heavy.

Custom GPTs are still the easiest way to build something useful into your workflow without coding.

I'm thinking of doing a workshop on that. Would that be helpful? Let me know.

Early morning #stetwalk and coffee with a friend… got my ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆

White writing on red background, with image of instructor in bottom right hand corner. Instructor is female with brown shoulder length wavy hair and gold dangly earrings. She is similing at the camera with her head tilted slightly to her right. The white text says, "Introduction to academic copyediting," and it quotes the instructor saying, "Looking to expand your client base? Make the learp into academic copyediting with this self-paced starter kit." Underneath that is her name, Jennie Seitz, and "Instructor." Bottom left is the EFA logo.

If you're moving into academic editing from other areas, this intro course might help:

“Great course! It really did address everything I was looking for.”

Using AI Right Now: A Quick Guide Which AIs to use, and how to use them

The two most common questions I get asked about AI are “which AI should I use” and “how do I start using AI?”

I wrote a short guide attempting to answer both questions. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/using-ai-r...

Hope to see you there!

🤖 I’ve been exploring where AI fits into editing—what it helps with, where it falls short, and what that might mean for our work.

💬 Are you using AI in your workflow?
🧠 If so, what’s working (or not)?
🤔 If not, why not?

💡Curious how other editors are handling it.
