"EditorJon"

I offer professional editorial and ghostwriting services at competitive rates. I have over 15 years’ experience editing, proofreading, and writing for law firms, financial houses, advertising departments, screenwriters, nonfiction writers, and novelists. In addition, for three years I worked as an ESL instructor. The latter experience I put to excellent use while providing editorial and writing assistance to foreign-born professionals at a top-tier international law firm in New York City. NB: WHILE I AM WILLING TO NEGOTIATE A LOWER HOURLY RATE FOR LARGE OR ONGOING PROJECTS, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN LOW-PAYING WORK. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU CANNOT PAY FOR MY SERVICES.
