Does anyone need an editor? (beehaw.org)

My latest contact for freelance work has gone silent, and I don't really care to keep asking for charity. My design skills are at this point irrelevant, and finding someone to pay me to write is my own problem.

But between those steps lies editing, which is still what I tell people I do, even if I haven't really done so since 2014. It's my identity.

My experience is exclusively in AP Style, but that's nothing the copyed behind me can't fix if we're meandering into Chicago or MLA, APA, what have you.

I've won national awards for my writing, so you won't get some sort of middling treatment.

You seem a sound and competent writer as well; have you considered writing your own content as well? Or are there challenges to that I'm not understanding?
