I am a meticulous and fast copy editor who is familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style, and both the MLA and APA styles. I work with Microsoft Office 2003 programs and can exchange information and text over the Internet.
I am a meticulous copy editor who works quickly, and I can work comfortably within a specific timeframe. My three years of copy editing experience started with a position as an in-house copy editor before I began my freelance career. I have worked on a variety of texts, including reference and instructional books. I have worked on a large number of the Frommer's travel guides in a freelance capacity, and I have copy edited many For Dummies brand books on a wide range of topics. I have also edited text for a legal office's in-house instructional use. In addition to that, I am an avid reader and am therefore familiar with a wide range of material and styles. I have worked most often with the Chicago Manual of Style, but I am familiar with other styles, including APA and MLA. I use the Microsoft Office 2003 programs, and I employ the track changes feature on Microsoft Word when copy editing, allowing the person for whom I'm working to easily identify and what changes I have made. I can send and receive information and files through my e-mail account, and I am familiar with Internet-based work communication. I appreciate you taking the time to consider me for your freelance copy editing needs. Please know that I will do the job quickly, thoroughly, and to your specifications.
