This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone.

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 is led by a volunteer board of directors. Every year, editors just like you give freely of their time to keep the Guild running for all of us… and we need volunteers who will help the Guild move into 2025 and beyond!
Interested in serving on the Guild’s board but not sure what it entails? Current and past board members will be holding board recruitment events throughout September and October so that you can learn more about board service.
Check the calendar for other dates, marked in light blue.
