Welcome to IPEd’s Conference Director

And welcome to the December issue of Gatherings.

The feature article this month is about our new Conference Director, Tania Goodacre. Welcome Tania. We look forward to working with you as the June 2021 conference, Editing on the edges, transitions to a virtual event.

Other organisations have achieved success with online events and we’re confident IPEd can do likewise.

IPEd Chair in Random Conversations with Phil

Phil Diver, CEO of the Brisbane-based Construction Training Centre, who produces a podcast series, Random Conversations with Phil, has had a chat with IPEd Chair Ruth Davies. She talks about IPEd, her background, how editors can find their way to editing as a career, the editor’s role in making a message fit for purpose and in helping authors reach their audiences better, endangered languages and a host of other topics.

It’s a fascinating insight into the profession and Ruth’s take on elements of editing. You can listen to Ruth’s chat with Phil here
