Newsletters
Every two months we publish two newsletters about copyediting and proofreading, one for members only (The Edit) and a free one for anyone who wishes to subscribe (Editorial Excellence).
The Edit

The Edit is our e-newsletter for CIEP members. It keeps you up to date with CIEP happenings, useful resources and editorial practice insights, including:
- the latest CIEP articles for you to read
- our new publications and resources, including fact sheets, focus papers, practical tools and guides
- news about training, CPD and conference
- insights from our forums
- useful non-CIEP articles, resources and events
- new developments in software
- our latest language quiz!
Once you join the CIEP you’ll automatically receive The Edit every two months, towards the end of the month. If you’ve missed any issues or want to read issues from before you joined, log into the members’ area and visit The Edit archive page.
Editorial Excellence

Editorial Excellence is our free general e-newsletter about good practice in copyediting and proofreading. It is issued every two months, towards the middle of the month, and is available to anyone who wishes to subscribe. It is aimed at non-members, especially people who use the services of editors and proofreaders (but CIEP members are welcome to subscribe too). It covers a range of topics to help you get the best out of the editorial process, along with news about CIEP resources, blog articles and events.
