national initiatives—an accreditation scheme, promotion and communication
campaigns, training and mentoring—and other activities to support Australian
societies of editors and their members, and editors in general. IPEd has a website – click on www.iped-editors.org/ to go there. The site was created with
the support of all the state and territory societies of editors. It is
regularly updated with news of IPEd activities. Are you looking for an editor?The Society has
published, since 1993, a printed directory of Freelance
editors in Canberra, distributed free of charge on request. The
8th edition was published in mid-2006 and sent to several hundred actual or
potential employers of editors. If you would like one, please contact the secretary. The web

continuously, so that it remains bang up to date. Click on the Editorial services button to go to it. The checklist button will lead you to a list of
editorial tasks offered by our members, that may help you in specifying the
