Did you hear? Did you know?
They did what? Do you have a name?

Ed2010 is an organization we've mentioned before. It's based in New York, but has chapters in many cities across North America, including Toronto. Its intended for young editors who want to make it into top editing positions in the industry. It tends to attract more young women in the business than young men, although that's not the intention.

They get together from time to time for "happy hour" swaps of gossip and tips on jobs and other opportunities. Sort of peer mentoring.

The main website carries some interesting advice on job hunting, interview skills and early warning about so-called "whisper" jobs, which are rarely advertised.

The Toronto chapter has a new coordinator, Corinna VanGerwen, a senior editor at Style at Home, who can be reached at toronto@ed2010.com.

The next Toronto event will be Monday, April 16th, from 6:30 pm on, in The Conservatory (second floor) at The Duke of York, 39 Prince Arthur Ave. (near the Bedford Rd. exit of the St. George subway station).
