Read on Twitter
So this is a tweet I never thought I'd write: My mom just got laid off from her job of 33 years. By the end of May, we're both going to be without health insurance, and we both need to see specialists regularly. I'm going to list some ways to support us if you can.
1. I'm a freelance editor with three years of experience interning in publishing, most recently at Writers House. I've done developmental and line edits for Big Five publishers. Book me to edit your query or manuscript here: https://markobrienedits.com/
2. I also offer sensitivity reads in the following areas: queerness (specifically, gay cis allo characters), depression, anxiety, ADHD, suicidal ideation, and psychosis (auditory hallucinations). https://markobrienedits.com/sensitivity-reading/
2a. My testimonials are listed here. If you're a freelance client of mine who's willing to give me a testimonial, please let me know! I've been wanting to update this page on my site forever. https://markobrienedits.com/testimonials/
3. My PayPal link is here. Anything you can give would be amazing. I've never asked for money on here without some sort of exchange of goods or services before, so this feels weird, but...yeah, that's the point I'm at now. http://paypal.me/markobrienbooks
4. I have an old Patreon? (This is how you know things are bad!) If a small monthly donation is more up your alley, know I would appreciate it more than I can say in 280 characters. I'm going to try to post some fun content over there soon. https://www.patreon.com/mobrienbooks
5. Finally: I've been trying to get a job in kids/YA publishing since 2016. I've done four internships over three years. If you can refer me, please do; if you can hire me, oh my God, please do. Happy to discuss my resume and more via DM/phone/email! markobrienbooks AT gmail.
