The Trellis

The Trellis is the community inside The Propagarium for new and experienced proofreaders and editors.

Just as a trellis supports growing plants, our community gives members a place to ask questions, share ideas, and learn from people who understand the work.

Bring the client situation you're not sure how to handle. Ask about a workflow problem. Share something you learned, noticed, or tried.

You don't have to figure everything out by yourself.

Community

Say Hello: Introduce yourself and let members of The Propagarium know about the type of proofreading or editing work you do.
Questions & Advice: Ask questions about proofreading/editing, clients, workflow, or mindset. Answer others’ questions when you’re able.
Good Catch: Share interesting errors, confusing word pairs, or proofreading catches we can learn from.
Worth Sharing: Post helpful articles, books, podcasts, tools, resources, or anything else fellow members may enjoy.
Monthly Challenge: Join the current month’s challenge, share your progress, and cheer on other members as we work toward one focused goal.
Productivity P.O.D.: These 60-minute virtual coworking sessions are a great way to get some focused work done. During these online meetings, we’ll be productivity partners on demand (P.O.D.).

Trellis Discussion Channels

Connecting with others in a community opens up the possibility of making a friend or colleague with whom you can connect:

meet others in your proofreading or editing niche where you can ask specific questions, share ideas or referrals, or even give each other back-up work
send a direct message to someone whose post or comment in The Trellis really resonated with you
discover common interests, experiences, or even a familiar hometown

You might work alone, but you are not alone.

"The Trellis has been a welcome addition to my life as a proofreader and editor. It's easy to feel isolated and discouraged when working alone. That's why The Trellis has been such a blessing! It's a space where we can connect with fellow proofreaders, find and give encouragement, and learn more about the editing world. I can't wait to see how this community continues to grow!"

🌿 Averie

"The Proofreader Greenhouse and The Trellis are wonderful additions to the proofreader’s world that provide an amazing community as well as a wealth of information pertaining to proofreading. Julie is a lovely curator of both plants and proofreading and shares those gifts with her community in a unique way. I love the plant analogies—they are just so spot on."

🌿 Lori

"The Trellis has been an amazing community for proofreaders or editors. I’ve already networked with another professional in my area and that alone is priceless! Julie does an amazing job staying very present in the groups, and there are different threads for advice, encouragement, or a laugh. I would recommend any proofer or editor join The Proofreader Greenhouse just for The Trellis community alone!"

🌿 Candis

"Together, The Proofreader Greenhouse and The Trellis community make a supportive platform for proofreaders and editors. Julie has a wealth of wisdom to share, and she does it in a genuinely caring manner. The Trellis has become a great source of support where I've connected with others in my field; asking questions, sharing ideas and experience, and just getting to know each other. I also gained a new ideal client through a referral on The Trellis—I can't wait to pay it forward!"
