We use Buffer, and it works pretty well and seems easy to learn/figure out. #ACESChat

I think a lot of editors can relate to your story, but they may not know how to market themselves if they've strictly done editing work. Which leads us to the next question.
Q2: How do you suggest that editors approach marketing themselves? #ACESchat

ACES: The Society for Editing @acesediting.bsky.social · 7d

@alyshalove.bsky.social let's get this #ACESchat going with the first question.
Q1: How did you build up your marketing experience?
