Editing is more than correcting words on a page—it is about shaping meaning, amplifying voices, and helping ideas find their audience.
For LGBTQ+ editors, this work is also about visibility, inclusion, and resilience. Every manuscript reviewed, every sentence clarified, and every piece of feedback given contributes not only to stronger writing but also to stronger futures for the communities we serve.
The LGBTQ+ Editors Association was founded to connect, support, and champion LGBTQ+ professionals in the editing field. We are a community of editors working across publishing, academia, nonprofits, media, medicine, law, communications, and beyond. Our members ensure that stories are told with care, accuracy, and integrity. We know that editors shape the cultural record—what gets remembered, how it is framed, and whose voices are heard.
Your tax-deductible donation sustains programs that empower LGBTQ+ editors to thrive professionally and personally.
With your support, we:
- Build networks of mentorship and professional development that open doors for the next generation of editors.
- Offer resources, workshops, and community spaces that help LGBTQ+ editors grow their skills and careers.
- Organize for equity and inclusion across the editing and publishing industries.
- Celebrate and preserve the contributions of LGBTQ+ editors to culture, knowledge, and history.
When you give, you invest in a future where LGBTQ+ editors can flourish as professionals and as people. You ensure that voices long underrepresented are not just included but are centered. And you help us track changes—not only on the page but across an industry that shapes public conversations and possibilities.
