It’s Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month! Woohoo!

As far as we can tell, it’s not recognized internationally or even nationally, but we’re all for it anyway! Writers get more attention than editors do, (not that we editors begrudge our brethren the spotlight), but remember, everything you read from books,  magazines and newspapers to adverts, contracts and the nutritional information on your low-carb energy bars, is (or should have been) edited by your friendly (if over-worked) neighborhood editors.

So be extra nice to editors and writers everywhere this month (and every month) and think a kind thought or two when you pick up something to read, especially if it’s grammatically correct and without any spelling errors!

September is also:

• Classical Music Month;
• National Coupon Month;
• National Honey Month; and
• International Self Awareness Month.
