Cybrations |
I am Lee Hassig, a writer and editor with more than two decades' experience at Time-Life Books,
producers of the book series The Old West, World War II, Mysteries of the Unknown, and Home Repair and Improvement, among others. I left Time Life not long before its demise in 2001
and now freelance through a company I founded called Cybrations.
Time-Life's multi-volume book series have lost their appeal. However, the company's greatest strengths—lucid explanations of complex matters to general readers, as well as some of the most approachable history writing
ever published—remain timeless. With long experience as a content and developmental editor in these realms, I can help you reach your audience with lively and persuasive prose.
On the Cybrations website are some clips of writing and editing I've done for several Time-Life titles. Please have a look, then drop me a note by email
so we can begin to get acquainted over your project. I'm happy to assist you at any stage of the work, from planning to polishing. |
