I have been searching to see if there any companies out there that hire people to type books for authors. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before?

I don't know how things work in other countries, but in the US, Court Reporters use home typists. I suggest you check the phone book for Court Reporting companies and contact them. You'll have to take a course in procedures and get a copy of whatever word processing software they use. If you can type fast and know a little grammar, you can make OK money.

Can you format Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, or do so using another similar program?

How are your word processing skills and what are the programs that you are used to using?

Are you just interested in typing from home? Or, are there other things that you might be interested in doing out of your home in order to make some income for yourself?

Sorry I have been so long in answering your questions. I am new to this site and I actually forgot I had asked something on here.

I have previously been a medical transcriptionist, which I did for almost 12 years, but I got tired of the doctor that I worked for. I would need to go to school if I wanted to pursue this again because he was an allergist and I only have experience in that field.

I was a secretary/administrative assistant for 13 years before I quit to raise my kids. I usually work in Microsoft Word.

I would have an open mind about doing other type of work out of my house, as long as it doesn't involve selling.
