A foot in the door
I’m pretty happy about this - back in late August I wrote an email to the editor of Surfing World titled “I love Surfing World, except for one thing”. It praised the magazine but condemned the number of typos, and to offer something constructive instead of just having a simple whinge, I offered to proof read the next issue for free. I didn’t expect anything to come of it, but as it happened his old proofreader had just left, so he took me up on my offer.
Cool.
Even cooler was this little surprise when I was proofing the contents page. Look closely at the Editorial Contributors section:
Yeah!
It goes without saying that you all have to buy the next issue of Surfing World when it’s on the shelves in a few weeks. Just for posterity’s sake.
P.S. if any of you find a typo that I missed please don’t write into the editor.

The fact that their OLD proof-reader had just left is a worry…as he obviously wasn’t doing very much!
