Hi! I have 20+ years experience editing, copyediting, proofreading, and writing -- full time and freelance -- for newspapers, websites, and individual clients. I've been published in the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, and other newspapers. I've worked for Internet startups and have a clue when it comes to technology. I'm freelancing as I complete a Ph.D. in U.S. history. I'm prompt, reliable, and my hours are flexible. |
