Dear Search Committee:<br /><br />I am a senior scholar with over fifteen years in academia. &nbsp;I have published many peer reviewed articles as well as three scholarly books on the sociology of education, literacy/language, and curriculum and instruction.<br /><br />I have a Ph.D. from a Research I university and am available to do editorial work in the social sciences.<br /><br />Also relevant to the position, before earning my Ph.D., I worked as a copy editor and writer in a development office at a university in Boston.<br /><br />Thank you for considering me for the position of Freelance Academic Editor.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Eric J. Weiner, Ph.D.<br /><br />PS: &nbsp;Did you make a typo when you wrote that Editors earn $0.007 per word? &nbsp;Because it is an industry standard,&nbsp;I assume&nbsp;you intended to write $0.07 per word.
