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

I am looking for an ongoing volunteer to review chapters of a report as they are completed. For the first project I have a 14-page chapter that I need copy edited. If you are a volunteer looking to work with an organization on an on-going basis I would love to hear from you.

What we have in place
  • We currently have first chapter drafted, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have drafts of chapter 2 & 3, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to focus on our grantmaking efforts

This project will allow us to provide a report to our community that analyzes the diversity, equity and inclusion within our county.
