Benefits of Membership

Your own listing on our website, www.sdpen.com, which holds the No. 1 ranking on Google for the search term “San Diego Editor.” Here you can highlight the services you offer, identify your subject matter expertise, and include a link to your own website.
Access to SD/PEN's “Members Only” section, where you will find job announcements, the newsletter archive, the complete Member Directory (including address and phone numbers), sample documents, and more.
Networking opportunities, support, and potential referrals from other SD/PEN members. Just one job referral can more than pay for your annual membership dues.
DELETE, the bimonthly newsletter, which includes a full recap of the most recent meeting, the Ask Grammatista and Lederer on Language columns, and other helpful and timely information.
Opportunity to increase your knowledge through continuing educational opportunities (including at least one Saturday workshop).
Increased access to clients educated about the value of editorial professionals.
Free bimonthly meetings on a wide variety of topics (nonmembers, $10 per meeting).
Opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors or in other volunteer capacities.
