Alex,
If you don't get any better offers, I might be able to help with an
editorial perspective on your work. I'm now retired, but I was an editor
for almost 30 years at the Mark Twain Project in the Bancroft Library at
U.C. Berkeley. Since retiring, I have done some freelance editing (as well
as doing a lot of crossword puzzles!). I'd be interested to see your work.
Unfortunately, I'm in Oakland, Calif., way outside the Boston area, but I
was born in Boston, if that helps.
Best of luck.
Ken Sanderson
