Welcome to the Los Angeles Area EFA Chapter page. EFA-LA is open to all EFA members in the Los Angeles area. If you fall a little outside the area—from the desert to the sea—consider yourself welcome too.

We will continue to have virtual meetings until it is safe to have functions in person.

NEXT MEETING: The next chapter meeting will take place on Wednesday, August 18 at 2 p.m. Details to follow.

PREVIOUS MEETING: Kellie Hultgren from Minnesota gave a presentation, “Avoid the Knowledge Gap in Your Editing,” at the May 12 chapter meeting. Kellie explored the roles of instinct and when to trust it as well as intuition in editing. She covered common knowledge gaps and how to avoid them. We were taught techniques for recognizing and confronting gaps before they become a problem. A Q&A followed the presentation. Kellie provided a handout, which included further reading recommendations.
