My new course, LaTeX for Academic Editors, is launching today: https://www.wordsbywes.ink/courses/latex-for-academic-editors/

Do you work with academic authors who use LaTeX? Have you had to turn them away because you don’t know LaTeX or aren’t comfortable working with it? Do you edit in LaTeX by moving the document to Microsoft Word?
