PEG

 

http://www.editors.org.za/

 

 

PEG is the Professional Editors' Group

 

It is an association of "copy editors". These are people who re-write text
for other people, whether to make it more grammatically correct, or more
readable, or shorter. They include newspaper sub-editors, book editors, and
people who help PhD students to prepare their theses.

 

PEG will be putting on an educational event on 28 Mar 2015 at 09h00 at
EES-Siyakha Conference Centre, Sherborne Square, 5 Sherborne Road, Parktown.
Non-members pay R210.

 

The topic will be "Copyright and Permissions". More details about this event
are at:

 

http://www.editors.org.za/AnEvent.aspx?id=1064

 

PEG is a typical small but well-organised self-employed professionals'
association. It provides a place for people to make themselves available for
work, find work, and maintain some sort of common standard in co-operation
with others of their kind.

 

Membership costs R475 per annum (students, R195). Further details and
benefits of becoming a member of PEG are described at: 

 

http://www.editors.org.za/BecomingAMember.aspx

 

PEG appears to be a reservoir of expertise, experience and good practice in
areas where the trade union movement is sometimes lacking. 

 

Please find attached a schedule of rates downloaded from the PEG web site.
The different categories, which include translation, can give an idea of the
scope of the general field of "language practitioners".
