| Professional/Personal Overview |
|
|
|
| |
I am an experienced editor and writer who has edited online content, magazines, newsletters, academic articles, and reports. I have also edited employee training manuals and workshop materials for corporate clients and written and edited materials for a public relations firm.
I am a thorough, conscientious editor and I work hard to maintain the writer's voice while cleaning up any grammar, spelling, or clarity issues. I think it's important to step back, look at who the audience is, and edit the project accordingly. I have outstanding editing and grammar skills and I never miss a deadline. |
