I've topped up the scholarships for all my self-paced courses again!
There's a limited number of scholarship spots for editors and writers from marginalized groups.
They're first-come, first-serve, no questions asked.

I hear there are a lot of new people on Bluesky again, so it's a good time to mention that people have created starter packs to make it easier to find people to follow. Here's one for editors.
Hey, friends new and old!
This seems like a good time to let you know about / remind you of my editor starter packs, and for you to let me know if you'd like to be in one of 'em.
There are two general editor starter packs. Here's the first:
