[Editors] Writer, thesis editor sought

[William T G Litant]

Dear all:

Two editors/writers opps:

1. A grad student at Sloan was referred to me as he is seeking someone  
to copyedit his thesis. I used to do this, but am out flat with other  
stuff so I offered to spread the word. Of course, he is willing to pay  
a fee. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please  
reply to me and I will forward to him.

2. This is a bit obscure, but a former faculty member of my department  
who is now at Georgia Tech is looking for a "technical writer"  
contractor to assist him with various projects. This person would need  
to be in proximity to his school as he/she would be expected to attend  
meetings and other activities. Yes, I suggested he confer with his  
school's communications people, but, for some reason, he is wary of  
doing that - guess he's more comfy with MIT types (snicker). So, on  
the off chance that you know someone down south who might be  
interested and appropriate, please let me know and I'll place them in  
touch with each other.

Thanks much.

Best,
Bill


"I know what you're thinking, punk," hissed Wordy Harry to his new  
editor, "you're thinking, 'Did he use six superfluous adjectives or  
only five?' - and to tell the truth, I forgot myself in all this  
excitement; but being as this is English, the most powerful language  
in the world, whose subtle nuances will blow your head clean off,  
you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -  
well do you, punk?" - Stuart Vasepuru, 2006 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction
