Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Writing and editing have always been my passion. Throughout my careers as both attorney at law and writer/editor, I have thrived on assisting others successfully reach their goal. When editing, I resolve to keep the voice and message of the writer intact while polishing their work to make it shine, creating something that flows, easier to understand and/or better-developed. As an attorney, I am comfortable using the written word as a tool for clear and concise communication and hitting the right tone; as a writer/poet, my eyes and ears for creative writing are astute. I am a proud member of the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors as well as a Top Pro here on Thumbtack, a distinction afforded to the top 4%, noted for outstanding service and for receiving consistently excellent client reviews. I've had the pleasure of editing a magazine and the work of all contributors as founding editor. I've authored a nonfiction book and four novels Please read below for pricing. I specialize in editing books, both fiction and nonfiction and academic papers, focusing on theses and dissertations. I've been called on to assist officials in government agencies including Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the National Forest Service. I assist with everything from punctuation and spelling to organization, format and readability, syntax, flow, and overall enhancement of the writing. Several books I've edited have been picked up by publishers. I've also suggested title changes that have been welcomed by the authors. Fiction Manuscripts: I am equipped to help with developmental editing for plot points, character development, achieving natural dialog. I offer constructive suggestions when asked. Nonfiction Manuscripts: The message is paramount. Organization is the key. I assist in honing these areas as well as the usual spelling, punctuation, formatting and offer advice when requested. Several authors I've assisted have had their book picked up by publishers either before or after they've placed them online. I also assist with query letters and packages sent to agents. Dissertations and Theses: My reviews speak for themselves. I received notice today that one person I assisted received a super high score on his Master's submission, a marketing plan for a product. I've helped countless grad students in a wide array of areas and have tremendous satisfaction in being able to assist them progress and do well in their chosen field. My rate is hourly and depends, of course, on the amount of editing that will be needed. I charge $32 -$40/Hour. I'm often asked for estimates. It's impossible to know as it depends on the caliber of the writing. I have found that charging hourly is fairest for you as you remain in control of payments. You'll start off with a deposit for as many hours as you're comfortable with. When that time is exhausted, I invoice you showing the actual time spent and send you what I've done to date. If and when you choose to continue, you make another deposit and I continue on. You pay at whatever rate you're comfortable with; you needn't pay all at once. I am paid via Cash, Check, Venmo, Zelle and PayPal. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to meeting you on the 'net! Warm regards, Guitta Karubian, JD Immortal Writing "Always Write!"

To Whom It May Concern: It is without reservation that I write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Guitta Karubian. I have had the opportunity to work Guitta for the first time during the Fall 2018 semester. She has shown enthusiasm for editing and even teaching me how to become a better writer. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to listen to what I need, to have my assignment completed correctly. I am currently in the education field; however, she was very understating of my work schedule, family and my own personal medical condition that sometimes left me unable to complete my assignments on time. These traits allowed her to open lines of communication with me, with ease. Her professional attitude is equally outstanding. Ms. Karubian was enthusiastic and exhibited great professional competence in editing my work for grad school. As a result of my observations, I find Guitta Karubian to be a kind and compassionate individual who is committed to helping others without discrimination. I find her work to be of outstanding caliber because of which I have been received an A in my masters program. What Ms. Karubian brings to the writing profession is a dedication and passion for making writing clean and clear. Her strengthens are her, compassion, intelligence and willingness to work hard, and eagerness to help be produce only the very best writing. She goes above and beyond what is required of her professionally and, on a personal level, interacts authentically. Without hesitation, I recommend Ms. Guitta Karubian to your next project, I am confident that she would be an outstanding candidate Sincerely, E. Osuna

Guitta edited a screenplay I wrote. Her suggestions were great and helped me see what was not communicating well and what was unnecessary. The revision was clearer, more interesting and drive home the points I wanted to get across to the reader.

I've had Guitta edit a short story for me and I loved what she did. I wrote as things came into my head and she organized it all and made it all come together. After that, I used her to edit more stories. I learned a lot from what she did and I know there's more to learn from her. She also edited some of my personal poetry, making it sharper, crisper and more emotional. Her price is fair and well worth it! She's the best! *****

I've been a School Counselor for 22 years and I'm frequently asked to share professional information with our parent/guardian community. In an effort to make my communications more engaging I often call upon the expertise of Guitta Karubian. Her ability to understand the essence of what I need to communicate has enhanced my articles and have been well received by the community I serve. Valerie W.
