Resources for Writers

Freelance Editors

If you feel your story needs more professional attention before you're ready to submit to an agent. Consider using a freelance editor. 

The Editorial Freelance Association has many quality recommendations. Visit them at www.the-efa.org

While I'm only able to provide information to Freelance editors that I am familiar with, I cannot guarantee their work. Individuals are responsible for properly vetting any contractor whom they choose.
