With a journalism degree in my hand, I walked across the stage of Baylor University. Along with that shiny green tube, I took with me a year of editing for our university's newspaper. Each day I helped reporters and staff writers generate and focus their story ideas. Then I edited them for clarity, balance, fairness, readability, and conformity with Associated Press style. Not only did I edit their stories, but I imposed deadlines and met the ones given to me.
Writers needing a good editor can find what they're looking for: fast, reliable, and accurate editing. You'll never wake up in the middle of the night wondering if that comma was placed correctly; I'll make sure it finds the right spot. As an editor for a newspaper, I operated under daily deadlines. I found my way through pages of confusing copy and helped writers turn jumbled pages into organized masterpieces.
