EAC British Columbia - West Coast Editor - Newsletter

West Coast Editor is the official newsletter of the Editors' Association of Canada, BC Branch. It is sent by email eight times a year to members, then posted on this site. Members who prefer to receive a paper version should let us know.

Editorial staff are fanatical supporters of the serial comma; they view it as an endangered species and treat it as such.
