Default Electronic Publishing - Keen Interest

I have been a technical editor for over 9 years largely editing manuals and websites. I have, over the years, built up a dedicated team who are gainfully employed in building some content rich sites.

With that preamble, I am curious to know if there are any avenues available for such a team to edit/publish content. I have heard that many publishers are anxious to reduce the cost of publishing by outsourcing the tedious task of editing to some well qualified individuals/ companies located in countries like Romania, Poland and India.

A casual search in Google to identify such requirement was not much helpful. If anyone has any concrete ideas or from such industries - I would be very eager to hear from them.

I'm not quite clear on what you actually do.

I edit websites, I have companies and our own jr level designers that mark up pages then I review their coding practices etc. and make recommendations or adjustments directly for them.

I have copywriters whom we submit content created by clients for editing then they send it back and we implement the content with the adjustments they've made.

What editing are you referring to?

I, and several of my Internet publisher pals, hire original content from Romania and such places. We usually pay around $3.00 for a 450 word article. I pay up to $10 for articles that I assume require research if they can be completed with the sound of English as a native language.

I'll place my contact for such below.

Through BlogSpook.com, I write dozens of articles under various pseudonymns throughout the web. The challenge I have with the $3.00 offers for Romanian (and other offshore) content is that many times I've found my work posted or published under another name by one of these three buck a story parasites. I now set up Google alerts with key phrases from an article or story to track down copyright infringement. It works... have been able to stop a few. At least for a while.

The upside (for me) is that it's the publisher ... usually accessible and on-shore ... that is going to be liable for the copyright infringement. Could suck for you if you're not diligent with what you publish.
