Copy Edit a Newsletter story
November 3, 2008 6:03 AM
I need to have a competent editor go over a story for my newsletter (around 2500 words). The story is currently being translated into Japanese (the newsletter is bilingual) but the translator is giving feedback to the effect that 'people without knowledge of this topic aren't really going to understand many parts of this.'
I don't think that's true, but because I wrote it, I can't tell. I need you - who knows nothing about Japanese woodblock prints - to read this item, and make comments/edits/suggestions/etc. to help improve it, if necessary.
The story (with illustrations) is in a .pdf file here. And the raw text is here.
A sample issue of the newsletter - to let you see the typical style, etc., is here.
And I'm hoping that you would consider doing this on a 'barter', perhaps for a copy of say, this print?
(Please contact me first ...)
payscale: Would you barter for a print? (details in job description)
job type: contract
