Hi – my name is Ron. The high quality of my proofreading and editing comes from an immaculate attention to detail and a love of well-crafted prose. My philosophical and mathematical studies gave me a solid foundation in analytics, logic, and precise syntax. A lifetime of reading in diverse subjects has given me a broad knowledge base and a thorough understanding of proper English as it is actually used in various types of writing.
With long experience editing for writers whose first language is not English, I am very good at understanding the intended meaning of a piece of writing even when the usage and syntax is far from perfect. I lived and worked in Hong Kong for six years, where I edited or re-wrote reports and presentations for executives.
I have years of experience writing and editing business correspondence, reports, and proposals. I am particularly familiar with the area of finance and investment, having spent twenty-five years in various back-office and writing positions in the investment industry. While in Hong Kong, I also wrote articles on mutual funds that were published in Asian Business, a regional magazine.
I have proofed and edited research papers for journal publication, and was the editor of a full-length book reporting the results of a long-term field study. I have proofed and crosschecked mutual fund legal documents for government filings, written and edited materials for investment marketing, and written and edited Web site content. For two years, I reviewed paid-search advertisements and Web sites for Yahoo.
I look forward to putting all of my skills and experience to work polishing your written material into a clear, error-free expression of your ideas.
