With this issue of Corrigo, we welcome new managing editors Susheila Khera and Meenakshi Sharma. Susheila and Meenakshi come to Corrigo with a wealth of experience and enthusiasm.
Susheila has been working as a writer for more than 20 years. This has included freelance journalism, translating, writing proposals for nonprofit organizations, and working as a technical writer at Alyeska Pipeline Service Company and now for Brooks Range Contract Services, a company that maintains federal facilities nationwide. She is also a creative writer of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
Meenakshi is Publications Manager at eGain, a Silicon Valley software company. Before moving to the Unites States, she worked as a fiction editor at Katha, a nonprofit press in Delhi, India. She has edited a book of literary profiles and co-edited some volumes of short fiction for Katha. She has also taught literature to undergraduates and worked at a preschool. Meenakshi would like to do her own thing some day, and is saving for a preschool, or a press, or both.
The new editors of Corrigo welcome your input and, of course, your articles. Write about something you learned on your latest project, a book that you found valuable, your visit to the STC Conference, your pet editorial peeves, your views on the use of serial commas, or any tips and tricks you’ve got to share. If it interests you as an editor, chances are that it will interest your fellow SIG members.
As we welcome Susheila and Meenakshi, we bid a grateful farewell to outgoing editor Julia Neunreiter Byrd. In her three years at the helm of Corrigo, Julia has given us a newsletter that has provided both valuable information and smiles. Her fresh view and her enthusiasm for editing, for the TE SIG, and for Corrigo were reflected in the quality of our fine newsletter. Many thanks, Julia, for an outstanding job.
