We kicked off 2020 with a panel discussion on building healthy relationships between publishers and freelancers. Our panel consisted of two in-house representatives: Laura Westland, managing editor of the University of MN Press, and James Kegley, the art director for 1517 Media’s trade books; and two freelancers: Kim Winscher, a graphic designer, and Madeleine Vasaly, a copyeditor, developmental editor, and proofreader. They discussed their current practices and the tools they use and recommend for creating harmonious, productive relationships as well as practices to avoid.
