If you are looking for an editor who knows writing to its core, here I am, an expert editing from an English major with 17 years experience in secondary classroom, teaching writing, editing writing, and teaching other teachers how to teach writing. I have ten years experience as a director of statewide writing assessment, nine years guiding high school senior through senior papers.
I am in my soul a writer, but my expertise comes from my many years as a classroom teacher, teaching young people comprehensive writing skills. I came to education as an English major, a lover of words and literature. passionate about writing. During my years in education I have designed curriculum, conducted workshops for other teachers, and become an expert rater of writing exams. I know the ins and outs of writing, its rules, its intricacies, its magic. I spend many hours writing my own material: fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction. I love the fundamentals of the English language, even with all its oddities. In addition, I love literature, the incredible magic in the way writers compose and arrange their words, sentences, paragraphs. I love reading essays, short fiction, novels, poetry and my new love - creative nonfiction. I have not only a mind and eye for literary writing, but an eye for the technicalities of writing - nonfiction, history, sociology, anthropology, current events. Although I lack background in the sciences, I feel confident of my abilities in this area as well because I know how the language works. My vocabulary and reading skills are broad and deep; I grasp what is above, below, beyond superficial meanings of words. I can assist in making writing better.
