I offer meticulous copy editing and proofreading services with 20 years of experience in journalism. I am a former newspaper and magazine editor, who recently worked for a major safety communications company. My experience includes: editor of two weekly newspapers; three years as magazine editor; produced and compiled weekly online newsletters; edited job safety newsletters for supervisors; responsible for proofreading safety compliance newsletters; proofed marketing copy for communications company; wrote for and edited SafetyXChange, a daily newsletter for safety professionals, and edited various legal and technical documents. My experience also includes working for a daily newspaper as a freelance editor and reporter. I am able to meet tight deadlines and work well under pressure. I am professional, meticulous, diligent, consistent, accurate, concise and trustworthy. I won a major writing award, and at my last place of employment, I won two Above and Beyond awards for my proofreading abilities. I currently work from home on a contract basis. My rates are very reasonable because I am an independent with minimal overhead costs. My excellent editing and proofreading skills can turn a good document into a great document, whether it be a book, article, white paper, thesis, script or short story. I am very passionate about editing and enjoy volunteering to help young students read at the local elementary school.
