On DC Craigslist:
Editing a book (work at home)
Looking for a student majoring in English or comparative lit to edit a book translated from Polish. This has to be done quickly, ideally by year-end, starting immediately. Principals only.

I had to respond to the post:
I can barely believe your post. You're looking for someone -- a bilingual student -- with no editing experience to take on a book manuscript, in translation no less. You've got a lot to learn -- that is, everything -- about editing and publishing.
In one short ad, you have reduced the value of experience in the editing profession to virtually zero.
Maybe you'll find a little "editor" in your Xmas stocking Sunday morning. More likely you'll find pieces of coal.
