Profile
Put over 8 years of experience in the educational publishing industry as a production editor to work for you. Proofreading, copyediting, and project management are my specialty areas. I am fully versed in the University of Chicago style, and can edit both on hard copy or in Word. I also have access to the full version of Acrobat and can proof on screen if necessary. My knowledge of the APA style is growing by the day, so if you need help with that, I will be more than happy to review your work for you.
I specialize in scholarly publications, namely in the humanities areas such as history, art, and English. However, I also have experience in producing business documentation, such as resumes and cover letters, so if you feel your resume and cover letter need work, send them my way!
I have also edited and proofread business textbooks, such as economics, management, marketing, and business law. If you feel like your manuscript for a scholarly publication needs a little polishing, I am fully versed in these areas.
I also have basic knowledge of HTML and XML, should you need any writing or editorial work done for your website.
If you're looking for help with your blog, I have basic knowledge of WordPress and its capabilities. I find it is the most versatile, yet easy to use, blog software in existence.
