But since I don't work in #academia, I'm not familiar with the currently available services. Is there a freelance pool I could join to reach these particular clients, or do I need to start my own side business? Do universities still have "writing centers" where I might volunteer remotely? I'd welcome input from the community.

A portion of the Analytical Engine of the incomplete mechanical computer at time of inventor Charles Babbage's passing in October 1871.
Held at Science Museum of London (its photo--CC). Contained a store for numbers (or memory) and a mill (which corresponds to what we think of as the CPU). It was 15 ft tall & weighed what a small locomotive does.
