The Northwest Editors Guild is looking for professionals from the editing industry and beyond to share their knowledge, insights, and experience with 250+ attendees at the 2025 Red Pencil Conference. We're looking for a broad spectrum of session topics this year, whether it's editing skills, industry insights, conscious language, or business essentials. We need sessions aimed toward advanced and beginner editors. And don't be afraid to suggest an interactive panel or workshop—we want to hear all your ideas!
