In May 2005, I received my Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at the University of Florida. I have taught high school English, and undergraduate writing courses, so I have a lot of experience grading/editing.
NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
I graduated in May from the University of Florida with an MFA in Creative Writing. My specialization is fiction writing, and my thesis was a collection of short stories.
In addition to being a graduate student for the past two years, I have taught various undergraduate writing courses in both the English and writing departments. These courses include: Beginning and Intermediate Fiction Writing, Technical Writing, and Argument and Persuasion (a beginning composition course). After graduate school, I taught 8th and 11th grade English with Upward Bound. I have also worked as a tutor and mentor for high school students, focusing on increasing my students' reading and writing skills. I have looked at many academic papers and essays over the years, and I always enjoy the editing process. Fixing grammar and usage errors is fun!
I'm not just an academic essay editor; I also have experience editing and proofreading resumes, cover letters, and other documents. I also did a lot of editing during my undergraduate years, including editing the study abroad magazine at my college. I'm fast and reliable, and I guarantee that your essay, paper, story, letter, resume, report, or whatever else you throw my way will end up easy-to-read and free from grammar errors.
