If you have read the first edition of Travelling at the Speed of Life and have found room for improvement, then that is probably quite inevitable.  I am not really very good at editing!

Travelling at the Speed of Life was produced without the aid of a professional editor or other assistant.  This ensured the independence of its very brief content, especially as independent thought is a very important aspect of considerate awareness.

Even before Travelling at the Speed of Life was printed, there were many things within its pages that could have been said slightly differently.   Yet the book is not only a limited first edition.  It is also a reflection of one person's self-expression on the philosophical journey.

While examining the printer's proofs, I noticed a few minor editorial oversights.  These could have been corrected with additional time and financial expense.  However, both as an author and as a publisher, I had already realised that the book was likely to need regular revising for future, expanded editions. 

The decision to keep the copy as it was has ensured the historical uniqueness of the first edition. It is important to see it as an example of the historical voice of an author at the beginning of a writing career.

For future C A Maggi books, especially those containing the work of other authors, the assistance of several editors will be required.  Do you have a thorough understanding of philosophy and the social sciences, a good grasp of world history, professional qualifications as an editor, and several years of experience in book publishing and publicity?  Do you value the author's own voice and can polish it rather than disguise it with your own use of language?

Do you also have interpersonal discretion, a flair for linguistic clarity, and familiarity with cross-cultural sensitivities?  If so, and you are interested in assisting a small, independent publisher whose output aims to support the development of considerate awareness and considerate democracy, while also being free of institutional subsidies, then please apply for an editorial contract today, wherever you may be in the world.
