Hi folks,
In addition to being a writer, I'm a professional developmental editor. I've had a business since 1995. Between 1995 and 2007 I usually had a constant stream of work from higher education publishers via word of mouth. Things slacked off after that, probably because of the double-whammy of the financial crisis and subsequent recession and the digital disruption, which is still on going.
This all worked out OK because I needed to support my kids through some very, very challenging years and times.
But now, they are off to college, and I have a lot of life to live and work to do. I enjoy developmental editing. So while I'm learning to be a writer, it's a good thing to do to pay the bills. Except...
So, to revitalize my business I have been trying to bring forth a website. I've got a lot of it put together. But a critical element is the services page. I managed to hack out some words for that and would love to have some feedback from people.
Can I just post the copy here and get feedback? Should I post it in Show Your Work, somewhere, so it's PW protected? Should I post it on my website and put the link here?
Thanks in advance,
Marilyn
