The Canberra Society of Editors (CSE) is the professional association for editors in the ACT region. We promote engagement between editors, encourage the exchange of ideas, maintain editorial standards, promote the use of editorial services and cooperate with other editing societies and related bodies.

CSE members enjoy access to monthly meetings, entertaining and informative speakers, training and professional development workshops at discounted rates, personalised mentoring and exclusive access to the Active Voice newsletter. Professional members also enjoy the benefit of publicising their skills in CSE's widely read directory of freelance editors.

Whether you are already editing or just have an interest in the profession, we invite you to come along to one of our meetings or get in touch to see how CSE can help you with your editing career.
