Editor - Open
- Edit the articles after the project manager's initial edit for clarity,
style and grammar. The authors' writing styles and skills vary greatly. Some
articles require very few edits while others, such as those written by authors
whose first language is not English, may require a complete article be written
based on their information with the by-line changed to the editor "as told by"
the missionary (or however the editor decides). A typical publication will be comprised of 10-15 articles, approximately 750
words each. The style of the publication is informal and intended for a general audience
so the editing process can be quite lenient.

Proofreaders- Open
