Professional/Personal Overview
An experienced editor and certified copy editor, my clients write about diverse topics. Several years spent in technical writing helped me solidify work skills, such as self discipline (freelance telecommuting), writing structure, economy of words, and the ability to meet deadlines. I like working with debut authors, to help them establish their voice and bring their stories to life.
