“I was told there would be no math.” Many editors live by that motto. We’re word people, right?! But whether you work in news, academia, nonprofits, or the corporate world, you may need to deal with numbers and data—in prose or represented in graphics. Even if you don’t work with large datasets, it’s often helpful to know how to handle numbers in text. Whether you’ve never worked with figures or want to hone these skills, this session is for you. Sara Clarke (editor at Investopedia) and Candice Gullett (economics/finance copy editor) will talk about how to get comfortable editing numbers, putting them in context, and how it can help your career.
