A Conversation for Volunteer to be a Sub-editor
Spiff volunteering - it must mean trouble ahead

Hi Anna, 
I have been bumbling about in peer review for a bit over a year now, and whilst not overly productive in EG acceptance terms, i think i contribute in my way to the overall process.
I have hesitated over volunteering for several of the schemes; whilst i'm certainly no guru, i could be a friendly meeter-greeter and possibly a decent scout.
But i think i'd best serve the guide as a sub-ed, and i've kinduv decided to offer my services, or at least step forward and get in the queue, .
I'm in no hurry to be accepted, because i fear responsibility, 
. I'd like to taken on this one, though, when the time is right. I enjoy writing and discussing other people's writing enough to feel confident i won't let you down.
I realise I'm sposed to be trying to justify myself here, particularly, but just fyi, I like personal, stylish writing, and lots of it gets as far as being picked in PR, so i'd like to think i wouldn't be one of these 'hack subbies' that some writers complain of.
