Copyediting

Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

We're about to finish our new campaign website: "Let's stay grounded" will inform about the impact of aviation and call for action to limit flights and put pressure on the aviation industry. The first draft for the website & content are ready so far. Now we're looking for a campaign expert who can proof-read our texts and also have more ideas about how to make our tone a bit more catchy and funny. The content has been produced by Germans, so great if you have knowledge about good British English

What we have in place
  • We currently have a draft for the website layout and content, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have our communication strategy paper, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to do great things with a very limited grassroots budget!

Together with social media and creative actions, this website will be the main tool for our European-wide campaign to reduce aviation.

Our mission

STAY GROUNDED is a global network of more than 150 local airport opposition groups, climate justice activists, NGOs, trade unionists, academics, groups supporting alternatives to aviation like night trains, and organisations supporting communities which struggle against offset projects or biofuel plantations. We aim to exchange experiences, support each other, and campaign together for a reduction of aviation and its negative impacts. We also engage in fighting problematic climate strategies like offsetting emissions and biofuels. Our vision is a form of mobility that rests inside the planetary boundaries and is not at the expense of others.

Copyediting Project

Working with the Stay Grounded Network on copyediting their upcoming campaign was a great experience! All the materials were very accessible to work on, and the campaign was really interesting to learn about.
