I am a communications/public relations professional with 25+ years of experience in health care and educational PR, book editing and much more.
As a freelancer, I have proofread and edited books from various genres (Thorndike Press/Gale Group: ABP); edited court transcripts (Glusker Reporting); edited everything from college essays to arts programs through my own contacts.
I'm proficient in CMS and AP style, as well as the rules of grammar. I pride myself on responsiveness and my ability to ask the right questions. My rates are negotiable and very reasonable. My writing and research skills are impeccable.
I received a BA in Communications from Boston University and a MPA from the University of Maine. I'm active in community events. I love community theatre. I'm the mother of a 14-year-old daughter who amazes me every day, though not always in a good way. I'm learning all about Facebook and am fairly computer savvy. What does all this have to do with proofreading? It makes me well rounded and adds to the depth and breadth of my skills.
I love proofreading and editing, and I'm good at it. What more can I say? What more do you need to know? Ask me. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Give me a project; I'll get you results. Guaranteed.
Thanks for your consideration and the best of luck to you.
