This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors. This Monday's online coffee chat will be a social event with no set agenda.

This event is free and open to all editors. To receive the Zoom information required to attend this meeting, please register for free at the event page, or (members only) go to this page.

The Northwest Editors Guild’s Mentoring Program is a popular Guild benefit. It supports new editors just getting started as well as mid-career editors looking to pivot to a new niche. In the past year alone, 19 mentor-mentee pairs were matched through the program.

Maybe you also have considered applying to the program, and wondered what the experience would be like? Join us on Wednesday, Aug 30, from 1:00–2:00 p.m., for a panel discussion with three program alumni to hear about the mentoring experience from the mentee perspective.

This event is open to members only and will not be recorded. For full details and to receive the Zoom information required to attend this meeting, please register for free at the event page, or (members only) go to this page.
