I work with college text books, but there is obviously all kinds of stuff out there to work on. I would call up/contact some publishers and offer to do some proofreading (find out what the going rate is first) to get my foot in the door. Or just do something on spec for a publisher whom you like; condense something, find out who the managing editor is, and send it to him/her. Good luck!!<BR/><BR/>ttAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33731975.post-69739907311770817492008-02-18T14:44:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:44:00.000-05:00Do you mean subbing other people's work to make it...Do you mean subbing other people's work to make it fit for whatever publication?<BR/><BR/>Yeah I could definitely do that. Also I could condense stuff down. You know for audiobooks/Reader's Digest Condensed Books/type stuff... I know I could do that but how would I go about getting the job with absolutely no experience?<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of abbreviating something already published and just sending my own condensed version in...<BR/><BR/>being as I CAN do it I at least have an appreciation of the skill required to edit other people's work... it can be quite challenging!<BR/><BR/>;->...Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33731975.post-68458849933407829242008-02-18T14:31:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:31:00.000-05:00Mutha: You would do MORE than Martha!
