Robert M.

I’ve spent about half my career in magazines and half in digital media. I was the Editorial Director for an award-winning nature/outdoors magazine in Texas for five years. As a freelancer, I’ve successfully completed hundreds of editing projects, including everything from business books to wedding speeches. I also have extensive experience working with alumni magazines, nonprofit organizations, NGOs, consulting firms, and think tanks. Here’s a snapshot of my standard editing services: • Checking grammar, spelling, and punctuation • Improving clarity and flow • Using Microsoft Word’s Track Changes function or Google Docs’ Suggesting function to make it easier to see all edits and approve or reject them • Providing feedback on issues such as organization, presentation, and logic • Ensuring adherence to your organization’s in-house style guide or other guidebooks such as the Associated Press Stylebook (AP), the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), or the APA Style Publication Manual My standard flat rate for editing is 3 cents per word. I'm primarily interested in long-term projects (6 months or more) or contract-to-hire jobs. If you need high-quality, professional editing, you can stop scrolling now.
