On September 11, members of all the California chapters enjoyed a presentation about the tax laws of our state as they apply to freelance editors. Topics included worker classification, the ABC test, and exceptions for editors. Our speaker was Marie-France Li, a payroll tax specialist with the Employment Development Department, Tax Branch, Field Audit and Compliance Division.

Anyone else going to the L.A. Times Festival of Books tomorrow? EFA doesn't have a table there this year, but it's still the biggest book event of the year and a whole lot of fun. I plan to be there in the morning, after 11:00. I'll be (hopefully) meeting up at some point with some of the folks from the San Diego chapter. It'd be great to see you too! Let me know if you go (chap_losangeles@the-efa.org) and we can swap contact info. It's at USC. There's no cost for admission, but parking is a thing--consider taking the train!

Hello, EFA LA members! This is the first post of the new EFA LA chapter blog. Just some quick news: SAVE THE DATE June 5 @ 2:00 Amy Schneider will be speaking on Conscious Language and Copyediting Fiction. REMINDER: Get your profiles updated and squared away--they've been ported over to the new site, but please note that special characters (including apostrophes and some spaces) did not carry over into the plain text format. ON ANOTHER NOTE The wonderful Black Lawrence Press is launching a new journal of interest to story editors. Here's their blurb: "How does a draft become 'done'? At what point does a writer decide a piece is finished? What is cut, developed, rearranged, re-imagined, or borrowed from other projects along the way? Fair Copy is a journal of prose process, showcasing the possibilities of evolution and revision. Twice a year (Spring and Fall), Fair Copy [will publish] a print issue with a limited number of prose pieces, each comprised of a draft; the final, fair copy; and a mini craft essay from the author about their writing and revision process. Additionally, each issue includes writing exercises inspired by that issue’s content."
