Charlie, I've done copy editing for a local publisher in the past ... I don't know what the current rate, but would be willing both to find out and to put my name forward to do the copy editing for this university journal. Let me know. Debra <cepeters@xxxxxxx > Sent by: To mea-bounce@freeli <mea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, sts.org <mea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc 12/07/2010 01:53 Subject PM [mea] finding and paying an experienced copy editor Please respond to mea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hello all, The editors of an academic journal that is housed at a Winnipeg university are looking for an experienced copy editor. The journal is a bi-annual publication and each issue requires fifty to eighty hours of copy-editing. Can someone advise us how we might best go about finding a copy editor? Also, estimates of a reasonable hourly rate for an experienced copy editor would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch, in advance, for your response, charlie
