Copyediting

Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

We are looking for a copy editor for our regular volunteer positions at our community center. We have the same roles, but we just looking to change up the description to make people more interested in the volunteer opportunities we have here.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a copy of our descriptions we have come up with so far, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have multiple staff available to answer any questions you have, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to continue providing food to the people in need in our community.

Our community center has a small staff, so our volunteers are a huge part of what makes our food shelf and clothing shelf here function on the daily. We've been low on volunteers lately and we are looking to bring in more to our center.

Michelle did a wonderful job. She did exactly what I needed (even though I felt I didn't explain myself in the best way) and the result was great! Thank you so much!
