People often ask if I'm their kind of editor. You don't edit books about spirituality,
do you? Well, yes. I edited a novel on spirituality last year, and I'm editing a non-fiction book about spirituality now.You don't edit books about cosmetics and nail / toenail care, do you? I edited an ebook about nail / toenail
care last year, and she seemed pleased.
Do you edit for businessmen? Yes, I've
done editing for a local restaurateur and a lawyer in Virginia, plus a business in Australia, among others.
I've even edited individual articles before they were sent to online publications.
I've also done other editing and proofreading, including novels, non-fiction books and much more.
If you're not sure, just ask. One novelist wasn't sure, so I suggested that she pay for one chapter. If she
liked my work, we'd continue. I edited two of her novels, and I was pleased to learn that my editing skills worked well
with fiction.
Another writer wasn't sure, so
she asked for references. I gave her two names and email addresses, and she came back the next day; she wanted me to edit
her book. I think it's gone well.
I suspect I can help you, too. I
have a special deal right now. I'll do a short edit for free so you can see a bit of my work. Subsequent edits are at
regular rates.
