Legal Editing Training: Trying to Discover the Opportunity

I posted on the new Chillibreeze.in forum to get feedback to answer the following question.   Is  legal editing training available in India and is this a good opportunity for writers/editors?

A Company Trying to Capture, Reuse and Leverage Content

Chillibreeze is an Indian content and design company. As a content company it should be strategic with the way it uses content - right?

This is easier said than done.  It is hard to always think about this and it takes extra effort. Here is an example.  

 CAPTURE REUSE and LEVERAGE  – Chillibreeze should leverage their  writers meets to help their brand and build traffic to their site. They could reuse  content from the meets ( photos, reviews, summaries and  survey results). The long term benefits from capturing these events might equal the benefits of the event itself.  Leverage means taking a little extra effort to gain a lot of benefit. Image how many people could not go to the event but would like to learn from it. Capturing portions of these events and posting them online would help bridge the gap and bring traffic to CB.in for years. The photos and other information would also build the reputation of the company.

This is what it means to Capture, Reuse and Leverage content. What do you think? What else could Chillibreeze do to be strategic?

A Great Idea for India: Writing Comic Books that Add Value

 Here is a great idea.  

 Since kids love to read stories they can learn worthwhile things and enjoy reading at the same time. It is a little like a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.  Below is an example  applied to TV.

A very smart guy  produced a TV soap opera with some background info about about AIDs. It just finished airing in India  so they surveyed  women who watched it.

10% went for a health check up

11% visited an “Anganwadi” government-run child care and health center

19% urged someone else to look after their health

22% spoke to their husbands about health, sexually transmitted infections, HIV- AIDS

Amazing results - right.

Chillibreeze did something similar. They created a comic book with a background message about Malaria.

A Tale of Two Magic Potions- A Malaria Comic Book - Kindle Edition - Kindle Book (June 21, 2010) by Dr. Nishi Viswanathan

Chillibreeze has started a discussion on this topic.

Can Comic Books Help Kids Learn About the Environment, Health, Thrift, Tolerance, Peak Oil,  Honesty, Debt, Solar Energy  and More?

Indian Writers can post. They can give links to examples or share their own experiences. They can even tell about their own kids who have been influenced by positive stories. 

Ultimately Chillibreeze would like to see how much interest there is in this topic so that they can decide if Indian writers would like to participate in a collaborative website.

If you are an author or publisher, you probably want to know more about ePub, and how we can help you with formatting your books for an online audience. 

Why should I use ePub format for my books?
Just as musicians have been making their music available in MP3 formats for instant downloads, major authors and their publishers such as Penguin and HarperCollins are making sure that electronic formats of their books are readily available for downloading on popular gadgets such as the iPad or the iPhone. Having your book (or even your blog!) converted to the ePub eBook format is a wise decision that will give an edge over other authors and publishers who do not offer electronic formats of their books.

Writing Excercise from Chillibreeze

Chillibreeze launches a collaborative writing exercise to develop a story

Even as Antara stood on the railway platform, the letter in her hand and flowers in her hair, the world was plunged into sudden and utter darkness. A burst of light flared in her Third Eye and she thought, "So this is 2012. It has begun, and I have been chosen." The letter from her college sweetheart Rohit, who she had come to meet at the station fluttered from her fingers. The agony of their ten years of separation melted away like the mists that had given birth to their love. She hoped Rohit had seen the light and not yielded to panic. After the thirty days of darkness during which the fearful would perish, they would wake to two suns in the skies and eternal spring. Yet there was much she wanted to undo in her past. She was going to travel back in time on the wings of thought.

Winner of the North East India Photography Contest: Vaibhav Mehta

Winner of the North East India Photography Contest: July-August 2010

THE WINNER - Vaibhav Mehta

Chillibreeze Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is pleased to award Rs.3,000. to Vaibhav Mehta, who has been awarded the winning photo of the first North East India Photography Contest hosted by Chillibreeze.

Chillibreeze would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to Hema Narayanan who was the judge presiding over the contest.

Hema’s comments on why she selected: The Children Against the Blue Wall

Vaibhav Mehta Winner of NE India Photo Contest depicts genuine feelings, fun, and a bit of style. The three kids have three different expressions, quite candid as well. The colors (the dress they are wearing against the blue background) is the best part of the frame. Expressions of children are always from the heart, with no hidden intentions behind it, which is well captured here. It also showcases the woolen clothes the people in North East India wear - again unique.

It has just the right elements and the instant focus of the eye is drawn towards the happy-being of the local kids.
Overall, its very eye catching and pertinent to the contest of NE India.

Chillibreeze hosted   ‘Doodles and Scribbles’ a creative writing workshop for children at the British Council Library in Bangalore on the 19^th of June 2010. The Workshop received a fabulous response and was attended by 22 bright-eyed kids who were excited about the workshop.

 

Nina Mukherjee set the ball rolling by introducing the trainer Meenakshi Venkat, a former literature teacher and an experienced book editor based in Bangalore.. The children participated with enthusiasm in the activities and liked the idea of connecting their ideas and writing to visuals and pictures. As the children read out their work they were given some tips on their plot, characters and their story outline.

 

The children wanted to know more about story writing and expressed interest in a poetry workshop.  The parents wanted Chillibreeze to conduct more such workshops including children in the older age group. Overall the workshop was a success and kids went home with new learning and wonderful memories.

Chillibreeze Communication & Writing Skills Assessments FREE Trials

Priya's Suggestions for building community

The 5 keys video was super and here are my ideas for each key:
 Content- A section featuring celebrity writers and Journalists. We could try out our interactive course model where we have a pre- recorded interview on video and permit select participants who have registered to post questions to the writer or Journalist . The question and answers are published on CB's celebrity interaction page.
Communication- Can we have a section where the Board of Directors and managers of different sections upload a message to the CB community on U Tube? It could be Tips, announcements or anything that would interest the writing community. Like an editorial " From the CB desk"
Connection- The CB celebrity writers section where the achievements of CB writers are listed every week. Writers can send in updates when they publish a book, or attend a prestigious conference or win an award. This will create a sense of belonging and will showcase the achievements of CB writers.
Contribution- We should have a participants poll on out new ideas and on the products and services we offer. This will give us feedback and will involve all those who visit the site
Collaboration- Ask Course authors to attend writer meets and promote their courses and share insights about their line of work.
 
Best
Priya
 
 
 

What does opening the flood gates mean for CB?

Ralph,
Interesting idea... I did get to hear your thinking on this a little bit...
So what I think it means for CB is that we have a huge database of writers, we have a good network of writers and we have a bunch of writers we have worked with since 2004. we need to open up so that our writers have "more" ... more access to
network, more access to customer projects, more access to improving their
skills We need to take some risks Go to the next level of reaching out to our writers and they will "reach back to us". Our alexa ranking is good. Our goal should be to open the flood gates in such a way that we measure our immediate success by seeing sincere and value add community building/content happening on cb.in We need to see growth in returning visitors Growth in numbers .. I am open to hearing more and thinking outside the framework we have
been working in.

Community Building Ideas # 1

Ideas from Kalyani

Content
We could idgetize the most core content
on the site, and allow people to embed it into their blogs. They might
do that because our site is solving something they want for their site but it might also be something to help
them make the site more sticky or content-rich (popular links,
interesting news, etc.) This way we can be creative and come up with something everyone will want on their page-
and brand it!!
CommunicationThe Bane of Phaedrus Responses: Phaedrus was one of Socrates’s students. Socrates did most of the talking, on such subjects as the
nature of love, madness, and writing. Whenver Socratus said something, Phaedrus wouldl
say things like, “How true. Tell me more!” These kinds of responses
don’t add anything new to the discussion (an important goal for most
posts in online communities) and can be avoided. While they register
agreement, these posts might better explain the basis for
agreement. When we feel a Phaedrus response coming on, we should explain “Why” when we post it. This way the discusiions would be lively and focussed.
Connection
Social Capital Graph Density People connect with hundreds of people that they do not really know in forums. . This strategy results in a graph that
is highly connected but the connections are weak because people might not
know each other. So they must be connected by member centric events and situations to increase the strength of connections, through tools such as ‘Currently Active Users’ section
Contribution
When providing a user with the opportunity to contribute to the
website, we could show information about how other users have responded
(positively) to that particular contribution action with 'vote up' keys, or showing number of users who have done the same thing or pointing out certain users (who might be connected to the user in
some way; e.g. part of their social network) who performed the same
action, or through ‘Trending Topics’ widgets. Collaboration

This is a great video - 5 Keys

Hi Pallavi,
Was going through Ralph's mail on the 5cs...immediately the concept mapping/mind mapping metaphor came to my mind where every aspect of building online communities - from planning to management could be put on a mind map and served as a visual cache for us as we go on...
Here is a link that might be useful for you when you compile all the ideas that come your way....

http://think.ajsands.com/   It is free...you just have to log on with your openID and start mind mapping!!

Chillibreeze is Searching

Hi writers
Chillibreeze is  looking for someone who can leverage the power of Wordpress for our websites.

FLASH  April 2010 - Chillibreeze Found THE right person

It goes without saying that you must be a good writer. You do not need an overtly technical background. But you must have the ability to translate complex tech stuff into simple lingo (and sometimes when dealing with tech teams, do the reverse!). You must also be a good problem solver. Above all, you must have the ability to curate the web for information, use forums to obtain specific data/information/answers and implement suggested solutions. You must understand website navigation, online forums and search engine dynamics to a certain extent. We have a tech team who will work on the actual installations and the tech aspects BUT they will get their directions from you. Experience in online marketing or website management will be a big plus.

What do we mean by Wordpress Architect? Is it like a software architect who writes code? Not for me!

Relax. An architect does not physically mix cement or lay bricks but he helps plan the entire process. The word architect in the job description does not mean you will be spending your time coding or creating plug ins or anything as technical as that. It means that you will work with structural and functional problems (just like a building architect) on the website involving Wordpress and solve those issues using the power of the web. In short, you will help us use Wordpress features to make our websites more efficient.

The Wordpress Architect job will involve the below responsibilities (and probably more):

1. Researching our problems, trying to find solutions by looking at other websites, posting qs on wp developer forums, interacting with people
2. Suggesting good plugins that would help solve a problem or add a good feature
3. Helping the design team/tech team make improvements to the website using ideas from other websites/showcases
4. Understanding what works and what doesn't
5. Interacting with the rest of the Chillibreeze team to find out the current issues/requirements
6. Acting as a liaison between the content and tech team.

Read more about this position here: http://chillibreeze.in/writing-jobs/writing-and-editing-jobs/word-press-architect-wanted/

Pay: The selected candidate will start with a Part-time position that will pay for working at least four hours a day. The first three months will be a trial period. If sufficient drive is demonstrated and results are achieved, this will turn into a full-time op with more pay.

If you are interested in applying make sure you read the job description completely by following the above link, then hit "reply all" and reply to Joanna, Vilasini, Clarissa and Nishi telling us:

1. Why this position interests you
2. Why you would be the best fit for this position
3. Whether you hold a full-time or part-time job/are a freelancer
4. Anything else that might help us make our decision (such as the fact that you maintain a Wordpress website OR that you have experience with a similar platform at another company OR you have web development experience and so on...)

Do note that this position will require significant commitment from your side. So please do not apply if you have other long term plans.

You might get an autoresponse that says you are not permitted to post to this list (or something to that effect) but don't worry. We will still receive your response.

Regards
The Chillibreeze team

Trends in technology are forcing corporate entities to reinvent the art of communication. The old-fashioned means of communication – talking and listening are still effective in meeting business goals. However, changing times call for newer methods. Good communication is like common sense – made to look easy but not always so. This skill needs to be honed extensively especially considering the globalised economy in which we work.    more
