Testimonial from the editor of Networking News

"In my experience as the PEN Networking News managing editor from 2021 to 2022, Carla Lomax was my copy editor. She brought varied work experience, including ESL instruction, and deep knowledge of The Chicago Manual of Style, which gave her rich perspectives from which to make editing recommendations. Carla's professional approach to the work and the quality of her work helped to assure we published a high-quality, professional newsletter with each issue. Her attention to detail and willingness to fact-check made my work easier. I could count on her to provide justification for her recommendations, and to meet all deadlines. We worked with multiple authors and writing styles, which never deterred her so that we maintained our organization's professional standards." -- Linda M.
