With the continued gigification of the publishing industry, the role of freelance editors continues to grow. Nara Monteiro has gained valuable insights as a freelance editor, a leader in a collective of freelance editors as Room magazine's former publisher, and an in-house editor at TouchWood Editions. Based on this experience, Nara will talk us through the common sticking points between publishers and freelance editors, best practices on both sides of the editorial divide, and big-picture takeaways as the editorial landscape continues to evolve.

Nara Monteiro (they/them)is a Brazilian-Canadian editor, writer, and nerd based in Tkaronto (Toronto). They are the editorial coordinator at TouchWood Editions, a managing editor at Augur magazine, and an editor at Room magazine. After hours, you can find Nara reading in the woods.
