Vision Statement
When the Editors Guild began in 1997, we could comfortably fit
in a living room. Today, we have more than 200 members--many beyond the Seattle
area. We have grown from a few freelance editors with similar clients,
interests, and backgrounds to a diverse group engaged in almost every kind of
word-related job in the Northwest.
As part of that growth, we've also begun to shape a public identity in addition
to our communal one. Our participation in such activities as Wordstock in
Portland, the Pacific Northwest Writers Association conference, and Seattle's Discover U class on careers in editing creates a relationship
with the larger community that enriches us both. We celebrated our 10th anniversary with a conference in the spring of
2007!
In 2000 we formed a steering committee to draw on the wisdom and experience of
our large and varied membership in order to chart the Guild's future. Committee
members volunteer their time, energy, and ideas to maintain and develop the
Guild. Our challenge is to guide the Guild's activities so that they reflect the
changing concerns of our members while simultaneously defining the Guild's
identity, both public and private. In this ongoing dialogue, the committee is
mindful of the need to honor both collegial and professional concerns: we hope
to preserve the Guild's friendly, intimate "living room" comradeship
even as it continues to grow and mature.
