Carla DeSantis Editing

Hi everyone, I went on vacation, and the icon on this app changed while I was gone. I probably won't be hanging out here much anymore. Please feel free to connect with me on LI and follow my business FB account. It's really a shame - I had some great interactions here.

So what does an #editor do when they finally have a free slot in their schedule? Why, finally change all the hyphens to en dashes in number ranges on their website, of course! Send help. #amediting

Aimee Wall's talk was excellent. So interesting to learn about the different ways that vernaculars are treated in literary #translation. #Editors23 #EditorsIRL

Day 1 of #Editors23 #EditorsIRL was a great success -- interesting sessions and good conversation with #editor colleagues. And look what I found in my swag bag: a tiny @ChicagoManual pin! I kind of love it.

Getting ready to head to @EditorCon tomorrow, here in my city Toronto! Who else will be there? #EditorsIRL #Editors23

👇 What an apt visual. Remember: if you spot maybe 20 typos in a lengthy book, there might have been 50,000 editorial interventions already made. That's an amazing catch rate! And author review and #proofreading should always follow #copyediting.

#Academic/scholarly writers: Do you know about #signposting in your writing? This is a good summary of what it is, how to use it properly, and why your #editor may be removing some of it. bit.ly/3MP8c3y #AcademicTwitter #scholarlypublishing #academicwriting #editing

This is a good overview of the different kinds of #editors involved in a book project. I am happy to be part of the @ucpress process outlined here, as the #copyeditor for one of its journals. bit.ly/3WIHZIB #editing #scholarlypublishing #AcademicTwitter

Yesterday I attended Toronto's Word on the Street festival, a celebration of the written word. Happy to see so many people out perusing print copies of #books and listening to #authors speak. Great to have access to some of the small #publishers.

It's always so nice to be acknowledged by my clients! This was a particularly interesting book on Czech literature and a particularly lovely author to work with. #amediting #editing #AcademicTwitter #scholarlypublishing

Congratulations @berlihe on this well-deserved award! I had the pleasure of #indexing this excellent literary study involving Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, and Latin texts.

I have neglected to write a blog post for over a year, but I finally had time to house an updated post previously published by the CIEP blog on my own website, based on @MaliniDevadas's expert #business advice: how #editors can make more money. bit.ly/40JXf8l

I agree - I value being part of this #editing community. And I do currently copy edit, but I'm also happy to send referrals to other trusted #editors when I am booked up. It helps my clients, it helps our community, and sometimes referrals come my way too! #AcademicTwitter

Why premodern history matters 👇 #AcademicTwitter

I absolutely love the fact that I just had to style a source reference to the Queen Bey, Beyoncé. #amediting #AcademicTwitter #citations
