Editors of Earth, aka @EdsOfEarth, is a rotation curation account for editorial professionals and students. Our goal is to make editors more visible and human, and to highlight the diversity of where we live and what we do.
A rotation curation (or #rocur) Twitter account is hosted by a different person each week. There are rocur accounts out there for scientists, artists, farmers, and even whole countries.
Other editors, obviously, but also writers, designers, readers, and anyone else who's interested in publishing, communication, editing, and reading.
If you're an editorial professional (whether in-house or freelance) or a student, please fill out the application form!
Maybe! If you're a translator, indexer, book designer, self-publishing author, or other editing-adjacent professional, please fill out the application form and let us know what you'd like to talk about.
Take a look at the calendar for details.
The goal is to give people a look at who you are and what you do, so each curator has their own approach to the account. Some possible topics:
...in other words, tweet about pretty much anything you can think of. Help show the world the many faces of editing!
Interested? Follow the account for a few weeks to get a feel for it, or fill out the application form now.
Robin Marwick got the idea to make a rocur account for editors, and floated the idea in the Editors' Association of Earth Facebook group (you should join). Many editors egged her on. Mark Allen, who created the original Twitter account, offered it for the purpose. And here we are today!
