Hi, Helen, Rachele's mom here. I'm a freelance copy editor, and as Rachele said, I've got a Facebook page (Willowtree Copy Editing). I've also got a blog/website (willowtreecopyediting.wordpress.com), I'm on LinkedIn, and I'm a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (the-efa.org). My profile can be viewed at both LinkedIn and the EFA by doing a search for my name. So, all that said, what type of editing is your friend looking for? Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with graphic design or e-book formats. If that's what's needed, I can see if the editors I talk with here on FB are interested, or your friend can post a listing on the EFA jobs board. Tammy Jo, that's a good point. I don't know of any editors offhand who ask for complete payment up front, though many do ask for half. There are some who will do a free sample of a few pages (I'm one of those), and others who charge a low fee for the sample. Either way, that's a good way to find someone who will mesh well with the author.
