Are there any good career fairs or networking event websites?

Join FB groups, LinkedIn, and professional orgs and make connections there. Online connections count. If you're a woman, there's the Women in Publishing conference that was just last weekend, but I believe they have events throughout the year. There's also the Women's National Book Association. If you're not a woman, or even if you are, there's Publisher's Weekly (they have a job board), the Independent Book Publishers Association, Editorial Freelancers Association, etc. I'd do some thinking about what kind of editing you'd be interested in if you were to go into that. Copyediting? Developmental editing? Writing is a different career path, but there's no reason you can't pursue both. Most editors I know (including myself) are also writers. I've been a developmental editor for over 20 years and I will say that I wish I had gone into a more lucrative area of publishing, such as tech publishing. So keep that in mind! More on reddit.com
