Apparently, copy editing does not = “recession-proof”.
Now, I’m more than happy to answer fact-checkers’ or writers’ follow-up questions, but a freelance writer e mailed yesterday, attached an album review for one of my artists and asked, “Please read it over, mostly for fact-checking, misspelling, dangling participles, comma faults, etc. Anything egregious. You needn’t feel compelled to comment, but any help would be welcome.”
Sure, I’ll help: you missed a star on the end there!
