#amediting #writingtips #wordbans | Erin Brenner Last week, “The New York Times” (https://zurl.co/ZeQdz) gathered and published a list of words banned from government websites and the documents. Words like…

"Women." "Historically." "Belong." Just a few words now banned from federal documents. As writers and editors, do we self-censor preemptively or resist? My latest on navigating word bans while maintaining both principles and pragmatism: zurl.co/c5CID

Avoiding Double Taxation on Your Foreign Freelance Income Maya Berger, CIEP Annual Conference, 10 September 2023

If you weren't able to catch my #CIEP2023 session on avoiding double taxation when working with foreign clients, the session recording is now available for all delegates to watch.

The session includes a resources handout, some high-fives, and plenty of empowering tips to make taxes less taxing!
