Obviously, this is a picture of Picasso's "Guernica." I don't know what else to put in the portfolio in addition to what is already in my profile, aside from a list of books edited, which you can find on my website: http://home.comcast.net/~p.weisser. Also, you can see a TV interview with me at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTPpodGmuyE
About Me
The way I usually work as an EDITOR is to sit with you in front of my computer (or via free teleconferencing and free screen sharing when distance is an issue) and read your writing out loud to you. In that way, you are available to respond immediately to all my questions and suggestions, and we can change things on the spot. I don't usually read manuscripts in advance, but prefer to share my reactions with you as they occur. On occasion, I edit material in the old-fashioned way, without the presence of the author. As Plato said, however, a book is a dead man (or woman), in the sense that it cannot answer questions put to it, so I prefer, whenever possible, to work with live clients. As a WRITER, I work with clients in numerous ways, depending on what works best for you. One method is to interview you with a tape recorder running, and then have the tape transcribed, which gives us the first draft of material. Sometimes clients prefer to talk to me, and I write as we go. Other clients may prefer to bring in a rough draft, and we rewrite that. Or we may craft an outline together, you write at home from that, and we edit your draft together. In some cases, we may use all of these methods...or any others we devise. As a DESKTOP PUBLISHER, I prepare page layouts for book projects that I have edited or helped to write. After that, all you need to do is get the book printed and bound or turned into an e-book. Alternatively, I can help you to submit the book to agents or publishers.
