Brittany Dowdle and Linda Ruggeri will help you plan your steps to create a network that is uniquely yours, based on your goals and networking style. This presentation is for editors, proofreaders, indexers, fact-checkers, translators, writers, and anyone else pursuing a freelance career in the publishing industry.
