article Blogs blogs collaboration editing writers

With all the monetized blogs and freelance 'instant experts' out there, competition for readers is getting fierce. Wait, scrap that: it IS fierce. Unfortunately, most people trying to make money writing online are in no way, shape, or form trained writers, and boy does it show...

I envision is a collaborative space where writers and editors pair up to review material. Writers could invite an editor (Bob, please review my book!) or pair up with one from the community. If someone wants to join the editor pool, they would undergo a sign-up process where they prove they could actually catch mistakes, typos, and grammatical errors. Also, to protect the copyright of writers' material, the editing interface should allow an editor to strike-though text or add new text, but not copy and paste text.
