Here’s the deal:
Step 1: You (corporation, private firm, educational institution, nonprofit organization) invite me in for a little chat about the ways that your operation would benefit from the presence of an able and experienced editor/writer/teacher/trainer (me).
Step 2: Persuaded, you engage my services.
Step 3: In return, you pay me wages.
Really, nothing could be simpler.
Seriously, good luck. But if Item #3 in your previous post chills your blood, you probably won't be able to stomach working for very many corporations, private firms, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations because they will ask you to violate every standard you hold dear. If you're thinking it will be you reforming and educating them, you, as they say "have another think coming." Interns shilling for clients on the Internet? You ain't seen nothing yet!
