freelance tentacle

[redbird]

I've sent off a letter, with an updated-for-freelancing version of my resume, to a potential client in Japan. This is something I found via the copyediting email list; she's looking for people to work on scientific journals. I think I have a reasonable chance of getting some work from this.

Ought to play well with your specialized experience, very good!

You might already be familiar with it, but if not, check out the job listings at Publishers Lunch (http://www.mediabistro.com/publisherslunch/joblistings/?igid=5). They list mostly in-house positions, but also some free-lance gigs, including ones writing copy for a series of travel guides for Avalon Travel. Good luck, by the way, and feel free to e-mail me at dabrooklynLJ@yahoo.com if you have questions about any particular publishers, especially smaller ones, as it's with them that I work, for the most part.

I hadn't been. Thanks. (I'd actually prefer in-house, but freelance is what I've been finding.)
