This is to be my new intro as I meet folks, followed {I have been instructed by the ever so persuasive DB} with “My starting rate is $60 an hour.”

And, indeedy-do I am, too! I have placed my editing & writing on the back burner for the last two decades years, doing some here & there, undercharging everyone I have ever worked for. Not anymore.

I have this blog. It led to another blog job with CoAbode. Last week, I began writing on Red Room. Today I officially was hired by an on-line publisher to work as a PAID editor. Yesterday I secured a location to teach writing classes & to provide editing services from. Last night, talked with the great DB and with his encouragement (read “pushing”} am moving steadily forward in my field.

I have been doing editing of some sort or other for over 20 year. I have been writing for 30. “Life” has, until now, been mis-organized in respect to my career. It was relegated to a “hobby”-like status. Oh no, babee. Not anymore.

“Hello, I’m an editor. My starting rate is $60 an hour. I’ll have to check my calendar to see when I can fit you in next month.”
