Hey y’all, I run EditorNinja.com. I am working out what an editing service for AI-written content would look like, and I’ve come down to fact checking, making it actually have a strong POV and arc, and making it extremely readable for readers (not just search engines).

If I rolled this out as a service (as a test at first), is there anyone here who would want to take a crack at being the first “editor”? TBD if subject matter expertise is needed, but usually the content we’re editing right now is very tech-focused.

Hey John, sounds interesting. Will DM you if that's OK.

David C Hoos October 19, 2022 at 08:34 PM

I'm open to being an "editor".

Hey @John Doherty just sent you a dm

This is such an interesting concept. I came from a technical background before I pivoted into writing and editing. If you want to chat more, feel free to DM me to set up a conversation. Thanks!

This sounds cool. I would say another thing to look for is redundancy. Also I’d love to be an editor!

I’d be very interested! I work as an editor now. Feel free to DM me.

John Doherty October 20, 2022 at 01:57 PM

If you are interested I need you to DM me, not the other way. I have plenty of interest and won’t go chasing those who don’t take initiative.

Can I give you feedback on the application page?

John Doherty October 20, 2022 at 07:42 PM

which application page?

Nikolas Wright October 20, 2022 at 08:06 PM

https://editorninja.com/become-an-editor/

Basically, what info are you looking for that’s different from the “Tell us a bit about yourself and your editing experience” and Cover Letter upload?

John Doherty October 20, 2022 at 09:42 PM

Not applicable to this conversation. We’re not actively hiring editors for our regular offering either, so this isn’t something I am going to look at right now. Putting a note in my brain for someday later though
