Here’s a great testimonial from one of my recent clients, to start off the year.
“I must admit, I did the “happy dance” after reading the articles. They’re perfect! No edits necessary. I’m not accustomed to that.” – Vickie Perry Barker.
I love it when my clients are happy.

I recently got this testimonial from Martha Isaac, for whom I did some proofreading and editing work. Thanks, Martha.
I have avoided editors because having an editor somehow seemed to me to be relinquishing control of my work. However, Sharon showed me that an editor could gently work with you, picking up pieces of carelessness or oversight in construction and generally streamlining a text without intrusion.
The experience of working with her has changed my thinking, and I now consider her work as an editor a necessary stage of assistance in completing the writing project.
My first e-mail of twenty- five queries at the end of the first chapter was alarming, but it also set the tone for work, I anticipated similar or greater numbers at every interval and because she was so well organized and focused, the task of responding was pretty painless.
When I saw the final version, I felt very pleased, because she had transformed the appearance of the text into a neat and organized entity.
I will work with her again and I recommend her highly.

Unlike my last on the web post, this time I’m writing about interviews and mentions rather than guest posts. I’ll handle those in a follow-up post. This month I have contributed to a post on the cost of living abroad on Man vs Debt, a post on Brazen Careerist on the freelance writing jobs I refuse to take, and have been listed on Info Barrel among the top ten freelance writing blogs.
I have also been interviewed by Brooke Ferguson of Business Backpacker and hope to have another interview appear soon on Jetsetizen. I’ve also agreed to play a leading role in the Location Independent Parents site and have been busily getting content ready.
Stay tuned for a roundup of the blog posts I’ve published recently as well as a wonderful testimonial from a client which I’ll be adding to the site soon.
