I am a professional freelance writer, editor and proofreader.

I work on all sorts of projects for all sorts of clients: novelists, professors, graduate students (as editor), translators, artists, corporations and more.

Got a manuscript gathering dust that needs new life breathed into it: fresh, new, budding leaves and all? I'm your lady. (Note: I'm even up for being a full-scale book doctorette, ie: I can do a heavy copyedit and/or substantive edit, can give you advice on matters large and small (does that title really work?, how about those crucial first (and even last) pages? etc), and...[more]

(Note: I'm even up for being a full-scale book doctorette, ie: I can do a heavy copyedit and/or substantive edit, can give you advice on matters large and small (does that title really work?, how about those crucial first (and even last) pages? etc), and I can even -- if you so choose -- ghostwrite some (or, gasp, all) -- of it! I can also offer a light-touch editing service, or even proofreading service, for those whose manuscript is very nearly where it needs to be. You won't even know I was there!!

For the academics among you: Got a dissertation that needs a clean sweep for errors and polish? Consider moi! (I've got recent experience on this one, and love to work with those in academia!)

Need your marketing text either composed from scratch, or sculpted into a veritable frenzy of coolness? My email is above, so send away! (And let's grow that darn biz-ness!!)

I have many sparkling references worldwide who can attest to my utter and complete dedication to my craft, and how easy -- even fun -- I am to work with! I for one can tell you that I am very passionate about what I do, and am a highly creative writer and editor, and also extremely detail-oriented.

I have blocks of writing and editing time available now and through the holidays to get going on your exciting and treasured project, and I can even begin to schedule folks into early 2009 as well.

I'm available via email to discuss projects large and small. Just drop a line/query to: maria _ pias _ mail@yahoo.com.

Hope to hear from you soon, and Happy Writing!!

Happy Holidays 2008 to everyone--Go Biznik, and Go Biznikers!! =) [less]
