Hi Michael,
It'd be handy to see a little more of how you write first. Have you considered getting involved with Peer Review?

Thanks for the reply. The writing in the guide is excellent but every now and then I spot words that aren't quite right. "There" instead of "their" and so on. I imagined the Sub-Editor task would involve proofreading for those sorts of things.
If I decide to try to write anything original I'll post it here.
Thanks again.

As h2g2 is a collaborative Guide, we're not afraid to have typos and spelling errors pointed out to us. If you see an Edited Guide entry with errors in, post to <./>Feedback-Editorial</.> and let us know.
(If it's not edited, it could be that the author hasn't finished it yet, but that'll be down to them and not us)
Cheers, Michael,
Jimster

Sounds like I may have found my niche then - I'll be doing for the Guide what the telephone sanitizers did for the "B" Ark.
Thanks again,
Michael
