[Editors] Advice on editorial careers

[Marilyn Wilson]

Hello Everyone,

I have a professional question for you: one of my colleagues has been 
meeting with a soon-to-be PhD (materials science and engineering), who is 
interested in doing editorial work.  She says she has experience editing 
other students' theses and has taken a copy editing class at the Cambridge 
Adult Education Center.  We actually get this type of question periodically 
from other students as well.

Can you folks recommend good local options and opportunities for 
students/grad students interested in editorial work?  The challenge for 
this woman is that she is apt to be moving away come June, perhaps to 
Chicago, maybe to Europe.  So a company that used freelancers would appeal 
to her.

Thanks,
Marilyn
