W: guess what? I've got great news!
G: what is it?
W: well, you know how I've been working at the Economist as a proof-reader, right?
G: yes.
W: well, the editor-in-chief heard that I had experience as an editor at another maganize and asked me if I was interested in becoming an assiatant editor for him.
G: really? That's fantastic! Will you get a chance to do any writing?
W: she said that the columnist for the literary criticism column would be going on pregnancy leave soon and that I could be in charge of the column until she came back.
G: wow! That's really great news. How often does the magazine come out?
W: it's a monthly magazine, but my column will be shared with another columnist so my articles will be due fortnightly.
G: are you looking forward to doing more editing work?
W: yes, but I'm even more excited about getting my thoughts published again!
G: do you have any order forms here so that I can get a subscription to the magazine?
W: I don't have any with me, but I think I could manage to bring a free copy home for you.
G: I'm really looking forward to reading your column.
W: me, too. Do you want to go out to celebrate my good news?
G: sure, where would you like to go?
W: perhaps we could go to the library festival that's going on at the local bookshop.
