Last fall, I had the opportunity to edit a somewhat different genre for me, but still within the scholarly realm: a 168-page English glossary of Nahuatl words, phrases, and place names, including some Hispanicized words derived from Nahuatl.
As a linguist who has spent countless hours consulting dictionaries over the years, and with an academic interest in historical linguistics and language-teaching materials, I jumped at the chance to put this massive list of words in consistent and consultable order.

September 2021 marks ten years of Carla DeSantis Editing! After ten years, I still relish the feeling of digging into a new manuscript, always learning something new in the process. To mark this occasion, I did some reflecting on where my numbers stand, where I started, where I am now, and what I have learned over the years.
