I have a degree in English Literature which serves as the basis for the work experience I have as a technical writer, editor, copy editor, proofreader, as well as translator. I pay special attention to details and get a project done quickly and professionally.
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.
With a basis in a BA in English Literature, I have gone on to acquire both work and volunteer experience in writing, editing, copy editing, proofreading, as well as translating and design and layout of a variety of publications. I have a strong command of the English language, its grammar, and its fine points. I have worked in a variety of fields, so am familiar and can work quickly with a variety of texts. These include: technical writing (user guides and other texts), telecommunications writing, forestry and resource management writing, journalistic writing, academic writing, marketing and advertising materials, project and proposal writing, grant writing. I get immense pleasure in receiving a piece of work that I must turn into a perfect piece, because I enjoy giving attention to the smallest details. I am one of those people that edits emails or letters that I receive from friends or family. That is how far my passion and commitment to editing goes. I am a professional that works independently and meets deadlines. I work quickly, but never sacrifice the quality of the end product. I take pride in my work. With experience as an editor, proofreader, translator, copy editor, writer, and technical writer, I am familiar with the entire process of creation of publications.
