I usually avoid working with family/friends. <br /><br />I got in a really sticky situation a few years ago when a co-worker asked if I could do a "light edit" on a manuscript that was...well, in a word, terrible. I told her as nicely as I could that it needed a little more time than I had available and suggested she find an editor online.

They change things anyway and don't tell me (they're still under the impression that their college professors' 20-year-old advice is best), but I fix it when their changes aren't working.<br /><br />Friends are different. I'd find someone else to handle the work. I don't think I could do it.<br /><br />Also, I'd probably not work with friends of friends because that's a sticky situation.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045985667596964511noreply@blogger.com
