The kind of editor I am:
I am an editor.
I know exactly what I can, and cannot do. I am an experienced copy-editor, and I am also a professionally trained proofreader. I rely on my experience and my vocabulary to read your manuscript, correct any obvious flaws, and then hone it to the best of my ability. In the honing process, I offer suggestions to remove over-used words, and give you options to clarify your voice, by rearranging passages, fixing tenses, and taking away any jumbled or hard to understand areas, sort of a bastardized version of line editing, to present you, at the end, with a cohesive document.

I am not, nor have I ever said I was a content or developmental editor.

I am also not a genie.
I cannot guarantee anything past what I say I can do.
I also keep all correspondence between my authors and myself, so later, if someone says I promised developmental or content editing, I know I did not.
I am a reader. And because I am, I know, for the most part, what readers like.

I am interested in an editor.

How I work is I offer a 500 word free sample, then afterward I charge .004/word for a copy edit. While I am editing I will proofread if it's warranted, and I also make suggestions to clarify a sentence or passage. These suggestions I set off in parentheses, so you can decide whether to use them or not.
