First session of the last day of @The_CIEP's 2nd annual conference. Easy English: principles of writing for people with low literacy and what editorial professionals can learn from them w/ @accesseasyengli. #CIEP2021
Access Easy English came about to help those who don't talk (ie, use other means of communication). Intellectual or acquired disabilities and illiteracy prevent people from managing day to day reading tasks. All over the world. 1/ #CIEP2021
Think about your own literacy.
What language do you use to describe it? (eg, reading for pleasure, enjoyment? Learning?)
How much time do you spend reading in the day?
What do you read?

Last session of Day 3 of @The_CIEP's 2nd annual conference. Conscious and inclusive language: understanding conscious language and the editorial role w/ Crystal Shelley of @redpenrabbit. No end to the learning from this. #CIEP2021
Words have power, positive and negative. What is conscious language? 'Language rooted in critical thinking and compassion, used skillfully in a specific context'.--Conscious Style Guide 1/ #CIEP2021
Conscious language is *not*
🙅🏾‍♀️ Political correctness
🙅🏾‍♀️ Censorship
🙅🏾‍♀️ Bias free
🙅🏾‍♀️ Static
🙅🏾‍♀️ A single guide

Next up: Blogging. Making it work for you and your business. W/ the golden triangle of editor-bloggers: @ljedit @BaconEditing @KiaThomasEdits. #CIEP2021
@ljedit: informal, confessional, community-building, reassuring, positive, personal. Blogging can be exposing: find your voice, don't compare w/ what others do, be honest, focus on connections. Helps keep the balance and build a sustainable career. #blogging #CIEP2021
@BaconEditing: how-to blogs, to help multilingual research scientists express complicated ideas clearly. Approach engages w/ clients and editing colleagues. Focus on language and use in formal research writing is very useful content for writers and editors. #blogging #CIEP2021

Post-lunch session w/ LinkedIn star @espirian: 'How to be a LinkedIn leader'. John got me started on Twitter and was among the first to make me feel welcome at my very first then SfEP conference. For that I'll be eternally grateful. Excited about this session. #CIEP2021
LinkedIn tactics.
🙅🏾‍♀️ Don't connect w/ too many too quickly (slow and steady...)
🙅🏾‍♀️ Don't *not* get to know people (have conversations w/ connections)
🙅🏾‍♀️ Don't follow engagement pods (groups promising to boost engagement) 1/ #CIEP2021
Profile dos.
✅ Get a profile pic and a banner
✅ Beware of long headlines (220 characters = wall of text on mobile screen) 2/ #CIEP2021

@IMcMillan talking to a bunch of googly-eyed language enthusiasts at @The_CIEP's annual conference. Apologies - not possible to live tweet while ROFL-ing. #CIEP2021
'Funny poet here'. Brilliant marketing! 😂
'Do not trip over the feet'. (Making note to pay attention to school straplines before the child is set for reception.)

Fourth and last session of the day: 'Lightning Talks' hosted by Robin Black and @LucyRidout. If it's anything like ones in bygone years, we'll be ROFL-ing on or off Twitter. #CIEP2021
First up Ema Naito, talking on 'The Most Powerful People in the World'. On the power of the English language and how experiences as outsiders can help wield that power *with compassion*. (Emphasis mine; as an English-language editor I use my power sensitively daily.) 1/ #CIEP2021
Second up Joely Taylor, talking on 'Bothersome Backsides and Other Photo Failures: A Brief Intro into Editing Photography'. Consider relevance, appropriateness, accidentally illegal no-photo zones, professional vs happy, captions, copyright, manipulation and more. 2/ #CIEP2021

Third session of the day: 'Authenticity reading: helping writers craft accurate and respectful representation' w/ Crystal Shelley of @redpenrabbit. Am sure there'll be plenty to learn for everyone here. #CIEP2021
I need to give my wrist a rest, so apologies for not tweeting this live. If anyone else is attending and willing to, do wave here. #CIEP2021
The power of representation: empowering or affirming when done well; harmful when poor or nonexistent. Authenticity readers ensure representation of identities (esp. marginalised ones) is done well. #CIEP2021

Second session of the day: 'Guiding principles for developmental fiction editing' with @The_CIEP advanced professional member Sophie Playle of @liminal_pages. I'm excited about this even though I don't edit fiction any more. #CIEP2021
I want to add developmental editing to my academic and nonfiction editing services. Am hoping I can takeaway lots of transferables from this session. #CIEP2021
What is developmental editing? Addresses the big picture, not the details. Useful to compare the process to building a house - brilliant example by @liminal_pages. #CIEP2021 1/

Thrilled to be doing the session 'Your marketing mindset' w/ @MaliniDevadas. I'm doing Malinics Boost Your Editing Income course and have followed her podcast + groups for editors for a year. I love that it has made me more confident of acknowledging my own business. 1/ #CIEP2021
Mindset isn't denying what is and pretending to be something you're not. 2/ #CIEP2021
Thoughts + Feelings + Action need to be balanced. Using good advice to act upon won't happen if *your* thoughts and feelings are not quite where you need them to be. 3/ #CIEP2021
