September YYC Webinar Club
Thursday, September 26 | 7:00–8:30 | Free for members
We’re changing things up a bit for September! We’ll be watching and discussing a 30-minute presentation called “Fix This Writing! Two Experts Show How to Make Bad Writing Better.” If you prefer to watch the presentation on your own beforehand, join us from 7:30 onwards as we talk about what we’ve learned. Registration is open!

Our next book club pick, by popular demand, is The Conscious Style Guide: A Flexible Approach to Language That Includes, Respects, and Empowers by Karen Yin. “With practical advice and hundreds of relatable examples, The Conscious Style Guide invites us to challenge binary thinking, embrace flexibility and creativity, and explore truly effective communication—in all aspects of our lives.” Read the full description here. Available from your favourite book store. You do not need to be a member of Editors Canada to join this event.
