Volunteer editor for my article requested

In summary, the speaker, who is not an academic, has been asked to write an article about a successful radio project they did with local students. The target audience for the article is STEM teachers and it needs to be ready by July. The speaker hopes to have a professional edit and check the article before submitting it, but they have not started writing yet. It seems that the speaker's typing may have been affected by a recent automatic upgrade on their Droid phone. They mention fixing the issue and going back to edit their posts after publishing.

Let me guess -- you have a Droid phone, and it recently updated your keyboard and autocorrect feature? That's how my typing looks on my Droid phone after some automatic upgrade last week. I'm not kidding!
