Editing with all aspects in mind so that the author has a product to be proud of and the reader has a product they will enjoy. Writing polished copy to the highest standards.
I started writing and editing because I needed something to do at home so that I was available to take care of my disabled sons. From 2004 until 2009 I had several e-books published and had numerous editing and proofreading jobs. In 2009 my older son passed away. A year later my younger son died. For a time I didn't do much work and ended with a few loyal authors who like my editing style and stick with me. I love to write fantasy and science fiction sometimes mixing them up. I love to do all kinds of creative things. I make jewelry, home decor, refinish old furniture either to their original beauty or refurbish for another use. I can crochet and knit. I am a gamer when I have time I will spend hours playing a game. I also love animals. I have two Shelties (Shetland Sheepdogs) that are my world. They are like daughters to me and my husband. I have ten cats, yes, you read that right, ten cats. Seven of my cats live inside and are spoiled rotten with treats, toys, and lots of soft places to sleep. The four outside live in a nice little kennel and are well taken care of. We live in a rural area in Arizona. We are in the Northwest corner tucked against Nevada.
Work Terms
My hours are flexible. I do like to take one day during a week to myself, but that's negotiable. I give turn around on an editing job seven to fourteen days. The reason for this is that since I am freelancing from home things do come up that may need to be taken care of and might take away from editing time. I usually do a graduated fee scale for books. Fees available for the asking.
