To find an editor, go directly to the PEG Directory of Members’ Services. There you’ll find a list of the members who currently wish to make their services known, listed by province and then alphabetically by surname. To help you find the right match for your project, each listing includes information about the practitioner’s field of expertise, preferences, training and experience. more

The Group’s quarterly publication is mailed to members and carries reports of PEG and other events. It also covers news, general trends and industry happenings, and is intended to be a source of information and stimulus to members. Back issues are accessible on this website. more

People enter the world of editing and proofreading from a wide variety of directions.

Until fairly recently, either very little or no formal training in editing and proofreading was available in South Africa.

However, training opportunities have improved substantially in recent years, since the Publishers' Association's own entry-level Basic Copy Editing and Proofreading course has become a requirement for newcomers wanting to enter the world of publishing.

Almost every aspect of the editor's craft is now catered for by the individuals and institutions that offer training.

You can join PEG any time during the year and our fee structure takes this into account. New applicants can join as Associates in the first instance or submit proof of eligibility for Member status. See Membership categories. Then complete the application form and deposit the required annual subscription into our bank account.

To experience first-hand our activities, meet other members and learn about the networking and learning opportunities that our Group offers, why not attend a PEG event? events
