How exactly does one become an editor? Linda Martin and Camha Pham share their respective journeys as editors and discuss the different pathways that can be undertaken, the levels and types of editing, the qualities one requires to persevere and work in the industry, the myths surrounding the profession, as well as tips and tricks for any aspiring editor. This two-hour discussion is targeted towards students and recent graduates of writing and editing courses and those who are looking to embark on their own journey to becoming an editor.
