[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reminds me that Edward P. Jones edited a tax journal (I think) for years while he wrote fiction on the side, and didn't quit until he won the Pulitzer for The Known World.[/quote]

I later held the same job he had. He was at Tax Analysts for a long time, a lot longer than I was.

I now freelance, and I also work as an editor at a company that assists international med grads seeking residency in the US (I help them with their personal statements). I'm trying to write a book. But have been trying to do that for a long time. [/quote]

This is OP - and do you like your freelance gig with the med grads? How's the pay?

I love it, but I love getting to know people and talking about who they are and what they dream of. The pay varies, depending on your qualifications—I have both an MFA in creative writing and a JD, and I figured out that I was offered more than my peers who did not. I started at $50 an hour, and eventually got more.[/quote]

Thanks for the response! [/quote]
