I am an English Professor who reads student papers with a meticulous eye for any kind of mistake. Nothing escapes my notice! I also have a background in technical writing, editing and documentation for various software companies.
Some of the greatest minds have trouble spelling a simple word or placing a comma. As an English Professor, I take bright ideas and coax them into a comprehensible, even artistic form. I read meticulously not only for proofreading errors, but also for content. I stress audience awareness, thesis and support, argument, organization, focus, style, response to prompt, grammar, punctuation, usage, and spelling. Since I allow students freedom to choose their own topics, I must comprehend and interpret a variety of topics, including everything from globalization to rock and roll.
I also understand the technical side of writing, having a background in technical writing, editing, and documentation. I worked for four years for multiple software companies in various capacities. As a documentation specialist I wrote manuals for medical billing software; updated, proofread and edited existing manuals; formatted training handouts; and built online help modules. This process included meeting with programmers to learn the software or reading their technical notes to understand updates and changes to the code.
Let me take your document and bring it to life. With your expertise of your topic and my skills in crafting the written word, we're a winning team!
