• Copyediting Request

    Copyediting requests typically involve asking for assistance in refining written content to improve its clarity, coherence, grammar, and overall readability. The goal of copyediting is to make the text as polished and effective as possible for its intended audience.
  • Communicating To Your Direct Scope

     👥 What Is Your “Direct Scope”?
    Your direct scope includes the volunteer leaders and team members you personally lead and communicate with regularly. 

    📝 When Is Copyediting Required?
     All written communications (email & snail mail) must go through the copyediting request process—except when they meet one of the following clear exemptions: 

    ✅ NO copyediting needed if your message is:

    • Sent only to those in your direct scope
    • Posted to your ministry/location’s official social media channel(s)
    • A text message sent to a pre-approved Clearstream list

    🟡 Not sure if your message qualifies? Ask yourself:

    • Am I communicating only with those I lead directly?
    • Could this message reach people outside my team (e.g., across ministries, locations, etc.)?
    • Am I unclear who’s receiving this?

    If there’s any mix, or you’re unsure, submit it for copyediting. We’d rather catch it early than miss something important.

    💡 Best Practice
    Even if your message qualifies for an exemption, peer review is always encouraged to keep communication clear, consistent, and on mission.

  • Is this communication intended for those OUTSIDE or INSIDE your direct scope?*
  • Communication Type

  • What MAILCHIMP TEMPLATE will you be using?*
  • Audience (List)

  • Do you already have a LIST (or REGISTRATION) you want to send this to?*

  •  Bulk Text Guidelines

    Since text blasts are limited to 160 characters or less, it's best to remember that you can often say more while saying less if you include a link to an event or landing page where people can get more info if they choose. 

    IMPORTANT:

    1. We can only send bulk texts to individuals who have explicitly given us their consent to receive them. 
    2. We’ll shorten any long links for you.
    3. Large audience = smaller text. We might tweak your wording slightly to fit character limits, especially if your message is going to a large audience.
