For years, Patrick Wallace has been one of the best-kept secrets in the publishing world, but he is a secret no longer. Consult him for all your editing and writing needs.

As an Executive Editor for Oxford University Press, Shanghai, he edited and wrote material for a number of best-selling ELT textbooks currently being used in Chinese public schools. His work as an editor for Better Link Press includes "Lu Xun's Shaoxing", "Dunhuang Mogao Grottos", "Scenes along the River during the Qingming Festival", and the "Snapshots of a New China" series. Finally, as an author, he wrote "Exploring Xinjiang: An American Family's Journey to the West".

Now, after many years living in China, Patrick has returned to his second home, Japan. He is pursuing freelance work, and he wants to connect with you. Think of him as the literary equivalent of the A-Team, without the van, and with an inverted Mohawk. If you have enough money, and you can discover how to reach him, he is your man. Discretion guaranteed.

Work Terms

I prefer to work between the hours of 9-6 Japan time. Rates begin at $25 an hour for basic copy editing, and 35¢ per word for writing projects. This is negotiable, however. Easy and enjoyable projects might be done on easier terms, while more difficult or complex projects will cost more.
