Freelance Register
Each year the Society of Editors (Vic.) Inc. publishes a directory of freelance editors known as the Freelance Register. The aim of the Freelance Register is to help organisations improve the standard of their publications by putting them in touch with editors who have appropriate skills and experience.
The printed Register is distributed free of charge to hundreds of corporations, government departments and agencies, and non-government organisations, as well as publishers. The Register is also available online and the online edition only is updated (contact details only) at least once a year.
The 2008-09 Freelance Register is available online with bookmarks (PDF* 3.25 MB) and without (PDF* 756 KB). The online Register is laid out on an A4 page to allow for easier printing and reduce paper waste. In both versions, click on any website address in an entry to be taken directly to that web page, and click on any email address if you would like to send an email message to that editor. In the bookmarked version, you can also click on an entry in the Freelance Quickfind to be taken directly to the entry for that editor or business.
All financial full members of the Society are eligible to be listed in the Register. The cost for a listing in the Register is $120. Contact details in the online edition are updated at least once a year for no cost.
