I received an email today from a colleague who reads my blog and pointed out that I used "to" instead of "too" in the title of my post. Thankful for the catch, I fixed the typo, but this got me thinking. I know I am a very poor self-editor. My mind seems to fix errors and I just don't seem them. But even though some bloggers say
having typos isn't that important, I really, really, wish I had an editor, however, since I'm neither rich nor famous that is not a possibility.
Then I recalled a post on the blog of a a close friend/colleague who is an amazingly successful writer/blogger where she reached out to her readers for an
unpaid intern. While my blog is nowhere near as popular as hers, it got me wondering about doing the same. It would be great to kind of mentor a student who could serve as an intern on my blog devoting perhaps an hour or two a week. I'm sure we'd both learn a lot from each other and the experience. I would get the perspective from a student and probably learn about all kinds of useful gadgets and widgets s/he could publish some guest posts, learn more about publishing, authority, marketing etc.
So...what do others think? Where would be a good place to find an intern editor? What ideas or suggestions do you have?
