Here’s a Good Philosophical Question: Who Am I, Anyway?

A father, a husband, a teacher. A reader, a writer, an editor. A ballplayer, a fan, a businessman.  That about sums it up. I’ve been into reading and writing since I was a kid—writing stories before I started shaving. I always got A’s in English and graduated first in my class in high school–just a few weeks after nearly getting expelled for constantly wising off to the political science teacher. He deserved it: he didn’t have a clue what he was teaching and I told him so. But that’s another story.

The long and short of this story, of this business of mine, is that I got a PhD and started teaching in college. In 1995, I published my dissertation on Ernest Hemingway, entitled Reading The Sun Also Rises: Hemingway’s Political Unconscious. Big deal. That and 5 bucks gets me an iced venti white chocolate mocha at Starbucks. Good drink.  Now that I have a good business here with edit911, I can buy one every day. I’m living large now, lemme tell ya.

I wasn’t in 1999. You know what they pay college teachers? Not enough to support 5 kids, that’s for sure. So,  I dreamed up this business. Necessity’s the mother of invention. Or was that Frank Zappa?

Oh, right. You want to know more about edit911, not me. Well, actually, I am edit911. Along with my 85 closest friends, my PhD pals and gals who do the actual editing, the hard work. My Staff is my team and my team is Olympian, I’m telling you. What a team. What editors. I love them all. They’re all world class. They’re why we have a perfect A+ BBB rating.

Anyway, time to get back to work. Oh, and by the way,  you’ll love our work. 15,000 clients before you have flipped over it. Just read some of their testimonials.  And check out our Blog. Talk about some great writing.

Use us. Let us work for you. You’ll be glad you did.
