WHEN PEOPLE CONTACT me, they usually ask two questions: How much do you charge? And, do you edit my kind of writing?
First, the charge. If it's long (novel, non-fiction book, academic dissertation), I charge one cent a word. I recently cut a doctoral candidate some slack, but normally that's the charge. Everything else, I charge case by case. I prefer not to charge by the hour. I'd rather do a great job than worry about time. But if you're adamant about paying by the hour, we can work something out.
Second, do I edit your kind of writing? Probably. I've edited a doctoral dissertation. I've turned British books into something for a U.S. market. I've edited non-fiction and fiction books about spirituality, non-fiction self-help books written for the British, and an ebook about hand and foot care.
I've edited and proofread novels, non-fiction books, resumes, and one ebook. I've edited for a Canadian doctoral candidate, a lawyer from Virginia, a restaurateur in North Carolina, a bookseller from Virginia, and businessmen from Australia, and I've re-written web sites.
You write it; I'll edit it.
