I’m presenting next Wednesday at the Editors’ Association of Canada, BC Branch Meeting on the top tech tools for editors with small businesses, freelance gigs and/or other contract editors. These are tools for business from an editors’ perspective. Below is the session description.
If you have a favourite work tool, post about it in the comments and it may make it’s way into the presentation.

Tried, Tested, and True: Top Tech Tools for Business
Web-based tools allow for simple, cost-effective ways to access information from any computer. In this one-hour presentation, you’ll learn about the top web-based tools used by one small-business owner, Monique Trottier, to:
* organize and share files with clients and project teams
* manage multiple clients’ contact information, project documentation, and correspondence
* track time, and subcontractors’ time, against each project
* create invoices and track payments
Although the discussion focuses on web-based tools, alternative desktop applications will be discussed, and audience members will be invited to share their top tools with the group.
You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to assess and use web-based tools in your business.
Please join us! Admission is free for EAC members. Non-member admission is $10 at the door ($5 for students with valid ID). Light refreshments will be served following the program.
