I have an immediate need for experienced freelance book editors to help edit two books that will be published by a major computer book publisher. Book subjects: 1. Intranets; 2. Web graphics program.
1. Book copy editor to review 1-2 chapters per week (approx. 24 chapters in all) for meaning, clarity, sentence construction, grammar, and punctuation. This is a true copy edit, not a technical edit. The first two chapters will require a standard, paper markup. Remaining chapters can be edited in Microsoft Word for Windows with Revision Marks feature. Requirements: Strong, traditional copy editing skills. No technical knowledge required other than a knowledge of Word for Windows 95 or 97 (preferably 97) and Word's Revision Marks feature.
2. Technical editor: Review 1-2 chapters per week (approx. 24 chapters in all) for absolute accuracy and completeness. Test procedures and step-by-steps. Review descriptions, and compare figures and terminology against the software. Requirements: Fast Windows 95 or NT machine (Pentium 133 minimum), at least 16 MB RAM, preferably 32 MB, high-end graphics card capable of displaying 32-bit color.

Please e-mail me a resume showing book-editing experience and any questions.
Thank you,
Steve Sagman
