I will professionally edit your writing

I have more than 25 years of experience as an editor, including a stint as associate director of a trade publisher in NYC and editorial positions at Yale University and Yale Law School.

Of course! Behind this gig's cover image, you'll find a document that illustrates how I approach copyediting, line editing, and rewriting. If you'd like to see an example of my own writing, just ask.

I'm afraid not. Ownership of all work done on Fiverr reverts to the buyer, so my previous efforts aren't ours to share. Beyond that, sharing examples of editing work necessarily involves sharing other people's rough drafts, and I prefer to keep my clients' material confidential.

Certainly! I'm from the US and currently live in the Pacific Northwest, but lived for years in British territories, and I still order the occasional book directly from the UK. My Fiverr clientele spans the entire Anglophone world and beyond.

UTC -7 from mid-March to mid-November. Otherwise, UTC -8.

Almost inevitably, but my availability can be pretty scarce on Saturday and Sunday. If your order includes weekend days, I might ask for an extension.

I calculate my fee in 500-word increments, but can handle documents of any length. I do reserve the right to request an extension of my standard deadline for pieces that exceed 500 words. As a rule of thumb, please count on an extra day per 1,500 additional words.

My minimum prices are firm: I charge the same rate for pieces of 1 to 500 words.

Probably. Let me know when you need the edited piece, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. If I'm busy enough that my calendar needs to change to make room for your job, I may request an additional fee for rapid delivery.

Probably. My base gig is only for material sent to me in Word, .txt, or Pages format. I'm happy to copy the text found in other documents, but I charge an extra fee for that service, and you'll get the results back in a Word document. I do not offer web design or PDF creation services.
