Editing and Writing Services

Jeff at the Brisbane Writers Festival

Jeff at the Brisbane Writers Festival.

I have 20 years of writing and editing experience. My commitment to excellence, creativity, professionalism, and timeliness is absolute. I am a dynamic and energizing speaker. I also love to travel.

Please query me for rates and availability, or email me at vanderworld at hotmail.com. Don’t assume I’m not interested as I am doing a wide variety of work, including a lot more short stories. Resume and references available upon request.
