Cohousing-L Mailing List: Copyeditor Needed for Coho Website

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

I just finished working with a copy editor on We the People 2 (now available 
everywhere in print and digital) so when i visited Cohousing.org I was struck 
by the need for a copyeditor. Errors in grammar are pretty obvious to anyone 
who is aware of these issues.

People write for email and the web much more casually than they would for 
something intended for print (or homework). But on the cohousing website the 
posts become “permanent” and new people who know nothing about cohousing read 
them. And many people who post there may not be writing for other outlets and 
thus don’t remember their English lessons.

This is isn’t a criticism of the site or of the posters — they are good reasons 
for everything. 

However, some volunteer hours, even half hours, from those who are copy editors 
or well versed in copyediting issues would be a wonderful thing.

Any copyeditor aware people out there? If so please contact webmaster Catya 
Belfer. She can give you editing access to the pages.
