I have many years of experience in editing/proofreading a wide variety of documents for large and small companies and individuals. Legal clients include large law firms, such as Mayer, Day, Caldwell, and Keaton, as well as independent attorneys for whom I edit and proofread correspondence, pre-trial discovery, legal briefs, and other court filings in the areas of federal bankruptcy, real estate, workers’ compensation, and intellectual property. For my business clients, such as Exxon/Mobil, Enron, Texaco/Shell, Gas Research Institute, and Waste Management Systems, I have edited and proofread business contracts, pension analysis, and due diligence studies. I work with intellectual property documents, including employer/employee obligations, patent applications, trademark limitations, and research presentations. My academic clients include research publications, such as Houston Genealogical Journal, Austrian History Review and Journal of Southern History, and individual scholars in the fields of history and literature. I provide these clients with several services, including proofreading, copyediting, research, fact-checking and indexing. My academic background includes an MA in history and additional specialties in political science and art history.
