One of the things I love most about being a freelance editor is the variety of editing I get to do. Once these manuscripts and projects are published, they’ll be added to my Published Projects page; until then, I must respect the authors’ anonymity. If you have a project you’d like to discuss, contact me at cyjohnson5580@gmail.com or call (954) 348-1963.
