Professional Editorial Standards

Adopted by the association's membership in 1991, revised in 1999 and again in 2009, Professional Editorial Standards list the skills and knowledge needed for editing in English-language media in Canada.

Principes directeurs en révision professionnelle

The association first produced Les Principes directeurs en révision professionnelle, professional standards for editing in French, in 2006.

Editing Canadian English

Editing Canadian English is a reference book for writers, editors, and journalists working in Canada. The first edition of the book, published in 1987, was written by a group of association members in Toronto. The second edition was first published in May 2000 by Macfarlane, Walter & Ross and subsequently reprinted by McClelland & Stewart. Since 2012, ECE is published and distributed directly by EAC.
