The Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP) is holding its Annual Conference at Vanbrugh College, University of York, from 13 to 15 September 2009. The presentations, lectures and seminars at this event will all be based around the topic of ‘Editing in the 21st Century’ and the programme has something for everyone working with texts, such as editors, proofreaders, translators, writers and copywriters.
Topics range from on-screen editing, grammar issues and copywriting techniques to software information and advice, e.g. tips on switching to Word 2007 and an overview of Adobe InDesign. There will also be seminars relating to various aspects of working as a freelancer, such as work-life balance, relaxation techniques, marketing yourself and the advantages of blogging. The copywriting and Adobe InDesign sessions will be of particular interest to marketing translators, particularly as a basic understanding of various DTP software packages is becoming increasingly important in our field.
