Are you looking for a freelance writer, proofreader or copy editor with an old-fashioned work ethic, a proven track record and reasonable fees? Do you need a fresh pair of eyes to do a careful final check on an important document ? Do you have your ideas written down, but need someone who can patiently organize them and tie everything together? From initial concept to final galleys, I'll be with you all the way, devoted to your deadline and attentive to every detail. I have worked in diverse fields as a writer and editor for more than 30 years. I have researched and written dozens of literature guides, test preparation books, textbook sections, and other instructional materials. I also write and edit novels and nonfiction books, web copy, advertising copy, and professional papers and theses.
Unfortunately, spellcheckers and grammar checkers are part-time workers with only a few benefits. They alert you to possible problems and then ask you to solve them. ("Do you want to use passive voice here?") When it comes to spelling, most are fine with any word that is correctly spelled, even if it makes no sense in the sentence. There is still no reliable replacement for meticulous editing by a genuine human being! I am that insanely picky editor, which may drive me crazy, but is definitely to your benefit.
Quite simply, I love my work and I do it well. Services provided include proofreading, light and substantive copy editing, rewriting, research, permissions, and writing.
