Freelance Editors
in Canberra
Are you looking for a special editor?
If you are looking for an editor to do a particular kind of
job, you can use your browser's 'Find' tool (just type control-f for Windows, command-f for the Mac)
to search on any term, such as 'art' or 'index', to find which editors work in
these fields or provide those services. Clicking on an email address will open
a mail window to the editor concerned.
At present this page includes entries for about 60 editors,
whose names are listed below - click on a name to go straight to the entry.
Are you a freelance editor?
Any full member of the
society can be included in this list - just email your entry as a Word attachment,
or in the body of the message, to your web minder, Peter Judge. Your entry should
broadly follow the format of the others. There is no reason why all entries
should look exactly the same, but we are being
strict about the length -- no more than 250 words.
DisclaimerCanberra Society of Editors offers 'full membership'
to members with appropriate qualifications and editing experience, and
includes their names in this register of freelance editors at their request.
However, at present there is no national accreditation of editors and hence
no absolute standards of editorial competence. The society publishes the web
and printed versions of the register in good faith and with due care, but it
is obliged to say that in doing so it can give no guarantee that a particular
editor will be suitable for a particular task. |
