A Conversation for Volunteer to be a Sub-editor
Can I be a sub-editor please?
Cyzaki Started conversation May 9, 2003
I'd like to be a sub-editor because I'd like to learn about the writing and editing process. My aim is to have a book published in the end, but first I have to write it! I also really like H2G2 and want to help make it better for everyone.

Dear Cyzaki,
Thanks for volunteering 
I'll add your name to the list and will be in touch when I do my next round of recruiting. In the meantime, it would be a good idea for you to spend some time in the review forums - Peer Review and Writing Workshop.
See you around on site

Thankyou! 
I've been in the peer review forum, trying to see what makes the difference between a well-written entry and one that needs some work.
Thankyou again!

Have a go in the Writing Workshop too - it's not so busy, but it's worthy work!

How long will it take before I'm a sub-editor? Not that I'm impatient to get going or anything!

Probably a few weeks. Not too long

Just a thought - I will get help with the first piece I edit, won't I? Just to help me get the hang of it, never done anything like that before!

Yes. You can ask questions on the Subs yahoogroup, and if they can't help, I can

Don't mean to be annoying, but you said it wouldn't be long and that was aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago! Any idea of when I'll get the job?

Hello Cyzaki!
Hopefully I'll get round to doing some recruitment this week. Really sorry about the wait - at least I know you're keen!
