Lost my job just in time for Thanksgiving

[upstart_crow]

I'm home early from my day job today and updating LJ because...well, I'm not going to have a day job come Nov. 30. Or health benefits. Or the ability to put my also out of work partner on my insurance. This was upsetting enough to learn at work that we all agreed it would be best if I went home for the rest of the day

I'm so sorry you've lost your job, but I've every expectation that you'll do brilliantly as a freelance editor. Word shall be spread.

I'm so sorry about the job situation, and I'll do what I can to help spread the word about your freelancing. I've gotten through some really difficult gaps in formal employment that way over the years.

Do you do nonfiction? I'm not talking fact-checking, just logical structure, readability, successful development of hypothesis and so forth. I have the opportunity to write some scholarly papers coming up in the next couple of months - the editing work would probably fall between mid-January and mid-March - and whoa, I am so on board with $1.75/page.

Thanks so much for the help in spreading the word.

I definitely do nonfiction! Email me and let's talk? upstart.crow@gmail.com.

Sorry to hear about your job, but I'll definitely keep you in mind if I know anyone who's looking for a freelance editor.
