Welcome Julie Zimlich to Hazard Editing!

Julie will be taking on proofreading (or rather, second edits) on our projects. She has a degree in professional editing and has been working for small publishers for several years. She catches everything and is pleasant to work with, always keeping in touch with her progress.

Right now, it's just the two of us and our schedules are flexible. We work when we can treat your book with the respect, love and dedication your work deserves. Feel free to write with any questions.

Fall Update

Hazard Editing is reopening for one to two projects a month. We now charge $5 per 1k words for editing and $4 per 1k words for proofreading. Feel free to contact Lisa Hazard at hazardediting@yahoo.com.

Hazard Editing Update

Right now, I'm scheduled out through April and have a few works scheduled throughout the year. My co-editor, Patricia LaBabera, may be able to take projects earlier and she's a wonderful editor.

I'm still open to taking shorts under 10k words over weekends, so drop an email if you have a short you want edited before May.

Thanks to all my clients who are most talented, amazing to work with, and patient with the way I work. I have great appreciation for all of you and enjoy my job immensely.

Also, I'd like to add I help with blurbs or author bios for clients I work with for free if you want this service. Just let me know.

Yet more on commas

When you start a sentence with a phrase like this in sentence, you put a comma after the phrase.

Here are some examples:

After the cat ate dinner, she cleaned her face.

In the living room, the cat claimed the softest chair.

When the kitten realized he was big enough, he began jumping on the counter.

If the cats would stop scratching the furniture, I'd have a nicer-looking house.

Look back over those examples and take the commas out. You'll be able to see how the sentences run together without the commas and make more sense with them.

Taking on New Clients

I've caught up on projects and I'm taking new clients. Feel free to write hazardediting (at) yahoo.com with any questions!
