Hello friends,
I know that some of you participated in providing feedback on the original letter sent to Tim Cook, the CEO Apple asking that he direct some of his future charitable donations to the ME/CFS community. Since then, our team has researched, identified and are now preparing to write to major philanthropists that have been assessed as the most likely to support ME/CFS research.Through the process of our research, we have identified more potential candidates than our group of writers currently has the capacity to meet. We are looking to add a few more intelligent people to help with the writing and editing process, as well as help provide strategic guidance for the project moving forward. While previous experience as a writer, editor, or journalist would definitely be an asset, it certainly isn't mandatory. I also feel that I should note that everyone in the advocacy group has ME, so everyone is very understanding and flexible about people being unable to meet certain commitments due to health.
At this point we are looking for people to primarily provide assistance in two different kinds of ways.
1) We are looking for a couple of different people to serve as lead pens on some of the letters. It's important that your writing is clear and concise, as well as that you incorporate feedback and work collaboratively with the rest of the team. All letters go through a peer-review process, so it's important that all writers can accept feedback in a professional manner.
2) We are looking for ME patients to help provide feedback on the letters by participating in the peer-review process and providing their thoughts and any potential edits.
If you're interested or would like to know more, feel free to shoot me a message.
