What people are saying:

“I found EditFest ridiculously compelling and educational… which I believe was the exact intention!

“This is a wonderful resource for editors to share with other aspiring, working, or just curious editors their story and their work. One of the great things about this event is that it’s a great opportunity for networking or just being able to converse with editors whose work you admire. It’s a real big deal. It’s like an actor meeting their favorite actor/actress or a musician meeting their favorite musician. This event needs to continue every year it’s kind of like an editor’s own Comic-Con...”
