“Niche Editor: Tight, bright and persuasive writing. I spent 50 years writing persuasive 400-word newspaper editorial commentaries and informative, entertaining 800-word weekly columns. My forte lies in polishing your short essays, newsletter copy or marketing paragraphs. I specialize in clear, concise prose that persuades, informs and, when appropriate, entertains in essays, short books and articles, letters. I prefer to work with non-fiction material. Basic fee schedule $40/hour. Family/friends discount rate, $40/hour. Clergy/Papal rate, $40/hour. Sub-Specialty: I can polish your self-written obituary. Don’t let Daughter Daphne, Cousin Claudia, Son Simon or Nephew Nate mess up your exit essay for posterity You write the first draft; you know the “what to say.” I will help you sharpen it. Fees? See above, but this can take less than an hour.”
