I strongly believe
that a good editor can be the difference between a successful
publication and a derisory flop. You might be a writer extraordinaire,
but if yours are the only eyes to glance over your work, you're selling
yourself, your writing, and your potential readership short. As a
freelance writer for BBC America, I have learned this lesson first-hand and my writing has benefited immeasurably as a result.
With this in mind, I am currently seeking clients for freelance editing. I have worked extensively as an editor for publishing companies such as CTB/McGraw-Hill and for various blogs, including IndyFringe.org, Lost in the Pond and The Indy Tribune.
If you would like to utilize my services in any of these departments,
please contact me via email so we can discuss the terms of business.
MY CREDENTIALS
- Over 7 years of editing experience
- Freelance writer for BBC America's Mind the Gap
- Formerly an editor at CTB/McGraw-Hill, one of the nation's leading publishers

a self-employed freelance worker, I require the acquisition of tax form
1099 from clients who paid more than $600 for a single job. Form 1099
must be mailed to me before the tax filing deadline. In kind, I will
happily and immediately complete and return tax form W-9 at the request
of the client or business. If you have any questions about taxes or
business-related materials, please email me at any time.
