This is pretty epic for me…
The Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading have upgraded me to Professional Member status.
When I was a newbie editor, I was on their ‘entry level’ membership. After I’d completed some courses with them, I moved up to ‘intermediate’ level. And then I stayed at intermediate for several years while I completed more training and got more experience. But in the last 12 months, I reached the point where I was ready to upgrade.
To move up a level, I had to:
- complete sufficient training (I was able to provide evidence of five training courses I’d completed)
- quantify how many hours’ worth of editing I’d completed (which is now getting on for 2000 hours)
- sit an editorial test (which I did, and I passed!)
- provide references
And the panel considered all this and then concluded that I am indeed a professional!
I’m thrilled to get recognition from this UK professional body. It means a lot to stand alongside colleagues I respect.
And a message to any authors reading this: I’m committed to providing the best possible editorial services. I’m the real deal!
