Profile	I am a published author of short fiction and poetry and star English student (GPA: 3.96; SAT Verbal: 780) who now works freelance, editing and proofreading student essays and research papers, blogs, web sites, dating profiles, fiction manuscripts, film scripts, ad copy, resumes and cover letters, and legal and financial documents. I am familiar with most major style guides, including CMS, MLA, APA, and AMA. Many of my clients are students who have brilliant ideas but just don't know how to articulate them. That's where I come in. I can help you flesh out that rudimentary thesis or research statement into a full-fledged, A+ paper. My BA is in English (Writing), but I almost double-majored in Psychology (I was short one course in biopsychology plus a community practicum) and completed the undergraduate research sequence and a volunteer research assistant position while serving as the vice president of our chapter of Psi Chi. My psychology GPA was 4.0. Other subjects in which I'm competent include history, communications, media studies, and sociology. Students who want to take the next step to college or grad school will also find that I am well-versed in the applications process and can help your admissions essay shine. I have my own Google PR3-ranked blog--an advice blog for singles--and a web retail shop, so I'm no stranger to Internet commerce and communication. Links to my blog articles have appeared on hundreds of sites. My versatile blogging style ranges from fact-packed and informative to satirically side-splitting. Areas of expertise include dating, relationships, and the single life; celebrities; book reviews; the literary scene; self-help and advice; web marketing; and animals, especially cats. Since I know what it takes to write web copy that actually sells, clients are still using copy that I wrote five or six years ago at the beginning of my career. In addition, I write online dating profiles that have an excellent track record of success. I've been publishing my fiction and poetry in literary magazines for 12 years, so if you're an aspiring writer, I can critique your manuscript with an understanding of popular trends in the literary scene. Or, I can just proof or line edit your manuscript with a fresh eye for rhythm, flow, and grammatical accuracy. Since I'm currently working on two screenplays and have provided commentary as a script reader for several professionals in the business, I would also be happy to review your script. Pounding the pavement for a job? I can help with that, too. I can polish your resume or cover letter so that it looks professional and presents your talents to their best advantage. Finally, I am certified in legal and financial proofreading by Moritz Legal Proofing in New York City. If you need a per diem temp or even a long-term proofreader, I am available in NYC on weekdays and on weekends by arrangement. I can do everything from cold reads to blacklining and know EDGAR, as well. And, yes, I do second and third shifts! I'm also available as a virtual assistant. I type up to 80 wpm, can handle transcription and dictation, have excellent organizational skills, and have worked in two medical offices for prominent physicians in the Westchester, NY area.
