Jay Fernandez
I charge by the hour, which keeps things steady and fair for both parties. Because I’ve worked on a broad range of material over the years, I’ve learned what each type of project requires. I will happily give a timeframe estimate once I have a solid grasp of your initial needs. An hourly fee means you pay only for the minutes I spend focused on you and your work, which I track in Excel. It also means that you have the power to end our arrangement, temporarily or permanently, at any time.
My name is Jay A. Fernandez, and I’ve been a writer, reporter, and editor, both on-staff and freelance, for more than 20 years at a number of top-tier publications in Washington, D.C., New York, and Los Angeles. From The Washington Post and Premiere to the Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter, I have fashioned a multi-faceted career as a reliable, thorough, imaginative, versatile content craftsman. As an editor, I can improve most any kind of writing — and do it on a deadline. I simply love language, from the profane to the poetic.
