Trellis Discussion Channels

"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!"
