At least a couple of hours of free time every month.
>> I can find a few hours here and there to sub-ed.
A good command of the English Language.
>>A* in GCSE English Language and I'm currently studying it at A-Level!
Access to a computer of some sort - ie PC or MAC. Sadly, due to the limitations of the editing tools, we currently cannot accept volunteers who only have access through digital cable/satellite boxes (such as Digiboxes) or handheld devices (such as PDAs or mobile phones).
>> I have a Laptop and a desktop, so I'm ok there!
Though not essential, it would be useful for you to have some kind of word processing or text editing software, such as Word, Notepad or UltraEdit.
>> I've got Microsoft Works....
So there you go, that's why I can be a sub-editor and as such is why I'll volunteer to help!

Hi Psycorp,
Keep an eye on your email in-box as I'll be sending you the standard sub-editor test to you shortly.
Cheers!

We have a Sub's Oath now:
'I promise to do my duty, to be punctual and to be nice to the Italics.'
This has to be said out loud every morning as soon as you wake up. If you're okay with this, we'd be happy to have you back

**noses around**
Can I just ask whether you're still using the same 'Standard Sub-editor test' or whether you've got a more interesting one yet?

That would be telling 
The test I used most recently had a few additions to it at least.

While you're reading Jims, could you sort me a few more entries to do? My email's playing silly beggars so I can't email the group to ask...
