ARContribution by Victor Barger, Colin Jevons

The purpose of this page is to connect those interested in copy editing service with those offering such service, especially offers where there is experience in academic research in marketing.  Contact the ARC editor to comment on or add to this list using the address arc@ama.org.

First, some links to professional societies of accredited editors.  An accredited editor would be highly desirable.  The Australia site has links to other regions as well:

• Australia: Society of Editors - People engaged professionally in editing for publication
• UK: Society for Editors and Proofreaders - Professional organization of editors and readers
• US: Editorial Freelancers Association - Self-employed workers in the publishing industry

The following list is arbitrarily ordered, but companies come first in alphabetical order, followed by individuals, in the order to which they responded to the original ELMAR request.

Comment: Jacobson Communications, "A way with words", Sydney, Australia. Since resigning as Associate Editor of Australian 4WD Monthly (see below), I have established my own business specialising in freelance journalism, media relations, text editing and event management. I have completed several assignments for my former employer, including editing a 180-page New 4WD Buyer's Guide. This included compiling the newslist and page-by-page 'visual', writing all of the copy, selecting all of the photographs, and liaising closely with the production staff.

I have used my technical writing skills to edit academic papers on a range of subjects, and provided media relations advice to clients from diverse industries (eg. legal, financial planning, personal coaching, aftermarket motoring accessories) wishing to enhance their media profiles.
