More people are working as freelancers than ever before, and the Editorial Freelancers Association is growing: We now have over 3,200 members, including freelance editors, writers, proofreaders, indexers, translators, graphic designers, and other editorial professionals. Our members work with traditional publishers, government agencies, academic institutions, self-publishing authors, corporations, and nonprofits—on any project where words deliver a message.

EFA conferences allow you to network with colleagues and develop professionally—a rare opportunity for solo entrepreneurs. Our conferences have attracted more than 200 editorial freelancers from across North America and abroad. And you don’t have to be a member to attend!

• Even if you did not attend EFACON 2023, you now can enjoy and learn from expert presenters discussing a wide array of topics related to editorial freelancing. The EFACON 2023 recorded sessions bundle—more than fifty hours of recordings, organized into tracks for your convenience—may be purchased for $240. EFA members receive a 20 percent discount, making the member price $192!
