Advertising for new work

In order to try and get some new contacts, I've been down to the University of Nottingham today and put up some notices about proofreading. It's worked in previous years and, although it's a quiet time (the UK students having gone home), the international students are still around and it's those who I want. Studying at a university where English is not your first language poses all sorts of problems and those students are glad to have a native English speaker look over their work before submitting it.

My flyers also stated that I do conference organizing, which should appeal to academics in their quiet summer time. If they're thinking of working on a book, too, this might be the best time to catch them. It will be interesting to see if it works.
