Want to know more about tech tools that we language professionals could use to make our work easier? Are there tools you’ve often wondered about but never got around to learning about? Kenneth Quek will talk to you about these different tools for an hour at 18:00 EET on Tuesday 16 November. Look out for his questionnaire and the signup link on the NEaT google mailing list and let him know what tools you would like to learn about.
To sign up for this session, please email: info@nordicedit.fi
NJoin us for a NEaTup after work! We will chat about what it is like to work in Sweden. NEaT members Robin Blanton and Charlotte Merton will talk with us about working in the Swedish context, setting up as a sole trader and dealing with the issues that arise when working in another country. Whether you have specific questions about working in Sweden or you would just like to compare your experience with other language professionals, you are welcome to join us for an hour at 17:00 EET on Tuesday 9 November.

NEaT is now a partner of the UK Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, alongside many of our other peer and sibling organisations, as you can see on the CIEP website. Some NEaT members have been CIEP members for many years, and you may know it by its old name, the Society for Editors and Proofreaders. We share a commitment to high standards of professional development.
Don’t forget that NEaT members receive a discount on the CIEP conference. Booking closes on 8 September!
NEaT is looking forward to working more closely together with the CIEP in future.
As “global” English overtakes local languages in academia and public life, what is our role as editors? When and how (if ever) do we edit our authors’ style? We asked you what you think, and your opinions varied.
Editors love their style guides, but some questions of style are too controversial for a manual to rule on, as this answer to one question in our survey shows:
Can you guess which question split the respondents? Want to steer the debate in one direction? You still have until 7 September to respond to the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NEaTstyle
NEaT members and revisors at the University of Helsinki will discuss the survey results on Thursday 23 September at 17:30–18:30 EET, on Zoom. Looking forward to debating with you about whose style matters!
If you want to join the debate, email info@nordicedit.fi and we will send you the Zoom link nearer the time. If you aren’t a NEaT member yet, ask to join so you can attend.
