This event is open to the public and is designed for editors who want to grow their business or for those who want to learn how to become a freelance editor.
We’ll begin with a casual meet-and-greet Wednesday evening, April 23. PEN members will have a chance to meet face-to-face people they know through the e-mail loop and our online courses.
Our main event will be a full-day program on Thursday, April 24. We’ll have a series of inspirational and informative talks from PEN members who are established freelance editors.
