Rather than putting pressure on ourselves, we can …

Hi all! There are so many resources & so much publicity, on Meetup and many places elsewhere, for freelance writers, but very little for the freelancers who EDIT those writers. That would be us, the copy editors, proofreaders and any/all other editor types.

I will probably edit this descri …
