Oh, that's what I needed...I've had a very, very long day, so I needed the "If you really have a few extra thousand dollars taking up precious space in your bank account". <BR/><BR/>I talked a while back about good and bad agents and editors (at publishing houses). The same holds true of copy editors.<BR/><BR/>Here's the thing: I'm a snob. Yes, I admit it. I want degrees. I want references. I want a website that looks professional (and doesn't have spelling errors). I know you don't want to toot your own horn, but you have a fabulous website. It shows your qualifications, it's well put together and it's easy to navigate.<BR/><BR/>And, as a bonus, the books you've edited have actually been published. (Not self-published, like those that several other freelance fiction editors showcase.)<BR/><BR/>If I ever have a spare few thousand dollars hanging around, after I go to the south of France, I'll hire you to line edit for me! Because I may be a snob, but I'm not a fool...a good editor is something everyone can use!Laura Kramarskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08444534759113332744noreply@blogger.com
