A freelance editor, I specialize in fiction but I've worked on non-fiction as well as web copy, corporate literature, and non-profit materials. I also edit and write for the group blog Magnificent Nose, which covers many topics but gravitates towards articles about writing and reading.
I'm also a lyricist; a guitarist for the band Baroque & Hungry; and I'm a touring cyclist.

Do you have to be good at grammar to get published? This is the same thing I was going to write. Find a good freelance editor. Keep in mind that the lowest-bidder sites will indeed get you an editor worth every cent you pay. Word-of-mouth is the better way to go about this. Ask around in writing groups, ask a publisher or an agent for the name of a good freelance editor. |

Do books have to be written in sequence? Good point, well-made. Do an edit or something so I can remove my downvote? (Add a space or something.) |

Least possible editing effort if a text is for multiple media? This question is fairly vague. Can you clarify? What is the piece about? Are you concerned with minimizing changes to visual formatting or to the content, or both? |
