It's official . . .
Yes, one of my clients had an internal shake-up and is now using a packager who sends everything overseas to India for proofing and editing. It's a sad,
sad day; this is what we've become as a business/publishing model. When I started doing this freelance, a person could actually earn a pretty good living as a copy editor. Thanks, globalization; thanks neoliberalism. Thanks 1%.

Argh!
Ack is right; I don't know how that's going to work out, but as with everything, it's the bottom line, not the quality, that counts.
Wait. Editing is being out-sourced to India? That seems doomed to fail.
It's been happening for years, Essie; just not in the venues I've been involved with until now.
