Hi Anne,
Thought I’d also let you know that I landed one of these gigs – the ‘Proofreaders for Clinical Trial Documents Required’ one. That was exciting, because not only was it in New Zealand, it was based in my city – something I don’t often see on these US-based writing blogs! Thanks for including it
