Whatever helps out in getting the content to you is a good thing. Of course, that may mean—as was pointed out in the article—bringing on people to assist. Unfortunately, smaller clients normally are busy with their businesses; larger clients may need to pass content through a multi-tiered set of people. And the end result can be delay.
It’s a good idea to provide for this ahead of time, so that content can be delivered in a timely manner. It can be done. :)

Dear Ms. Ronalds:
I enjoyed your viewpoint and delineation of publishing roles. I think reading your blog might help web publishers decide to add editors to their creative teams.
An editor, I am hoping to establish a freelance connection with website creators and publishers. Would you mind if I provide a link to this column, or add credited quotes, with letters to these businesses? Thank you.
I have been working professionally as an editor for the last three years (previously working freelance for spot jobs). It has been a project of mind to approach as many websites as I can that I find have problems with their content. It’s a hard task as there are a number of them, but it’s also difficult to convince small companies to spend the extra to money to hire someone on the outside to edit the copy once it’s written or have someone else write the copy for them.
I work locally with a number of small businesses in that regard, helping them put together a small informational packet to use when they have to do all of their own editing and copy. It helps alleviate some of the embarrassment of posting unpolished copy to their website.
If you’re in the market for a copy writer/editor, I have plenty of contacts here in the States who would be more than happy to help you with your project.
Being a small time entrepreneur I do all the job myself. Frankly, it easier and takes lesser time to edit than to put in fresh and unique content to your website.
