Some of the highest-paid, most challenging and satisfying editing work is for the three levels of government. But landing the projects can be as challenging and time-consuming as doing the work. This seminar covers the various ways in which the governments farm out freelance and contract work. It will explain the complexities of getting on suppliers' lists (and staying on them) and becoming a Vendor of Record.  It will tell you how to get standing order contracts, and how to get work from them. It also discusses the whole process of finding and responding to RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, and other government procurement documents. It discusses when to submit a proposal, and how to do so effectively.



 ioannou Greg Ioannou, current national president of EAC/ACR, has copy edited fiction, non-fiction, textbooks, government reports, and corporate publications. He owns Colborne Communications, an 11-person editing company, and prepares all of Colborne’s estimates.
