Editing of 50 page Market Research Report

We are a market research company. We publish reports. We have written a 50 page report (in a 'enumerating' style). That report needs to be edited before we publish it. That is where we need help.

We are looking for somebody who can edit what we have written so that it can be published. By editing we mean convert the dry, 'enumerating' style we have used into a sober, business-like, yet engaging style (comparable to the style of the Wall Street Journal or the economic and business section of the New York Times). What we do not need is a sensational tone or the Newsweek/Business Week style with off-standard words or slang. We do not need either is a style full of buzz words and superlatives. We are not writing a novel or a film script. We are writing a professional report. You probably get what we look for by now

Quick short turn around needed. If you have only two spare hours a day, this is not meant for you.We are looking for somebody who has at least 3 or 4 hours per day to work on this and/or can work on weekends on this.

You need to have experience editing professional publications (like market research reports, conference transcripts, b2b documents, product brochures). We are not looking for people who edited for popular press or adapted for movies or television. Ideally you have experience with the editing of market research reports (for Veronis Suhler Stevenson, Kagan, Frost&Sullivan, Datamonitor, Forrester, Freedonia).

Apply to Julie May at jmay@dvrresearch.com. Indicate:
- what experience you have editing professional publications (include samples if possible)
- what you availability is in the coming 3 to 4 weeks
- where we can reach you (email + tel)
If you have a more or less recent version of your resume, include it.

* Compensation: in line with market and your experience - we pay well
* Telecommuting is ok.
