A Conversation for Volunteer to be a Sub-editor
I'll sub for you
Festen Started conversation Nov 6, 2002
Hello there.
I'm writing to offer my services as a Sub-editor.
I work - rather conveniently - as a Sub-editor for a magazine company in Manchester (UK). I've also worked at the Beeb if that's any help (BBC Sport Online).
Like many deadline-driven jobs, I spend half my time waiting for work to come through and the other working frantically to keep up.
It is these barren spells that I offer to you in hope that you will irrigate them with some cool, flowing copy...
Sorry, I turned into Alan Partridge there, but you get the drift.
I say good day to you.

Dear Festen,
Thanks for volunteering 
and welcome to h2g2 
It might be worth you getting stuck into Peer Review before I start sending you batches. I'll add your name to the list and will contact you when I do my next round of recruitment.
In the meantime, have fun on site
Anna

Thanks Anna,
I'll have a go at Peer Review then, and hope to hear from you soon(ish).

Ask h2g2 is a good place to get to grips with h2g2 as well. Meet new people and find out things you never knew you'd need to know!
