Time to Put the “Free” Back in “Freelance”

juillet 26, 2016 by Susan Glickman | 7 commentaires sur Time to Put the “Free” Back in “Freelance”

janvier 28, 2014 by Susan Glickman | Un commentaire sur Editing the First-Time Novelist

I teach Creative Writing in the continuing education programs at both Ryerson and the University of Toronto. My students know that I also work as a freelance editor, so they often ask me whether they ought to hire one. Sometimes they even want to hire me, but generally I refuse. Why? Because first drafts from […]
