Are you looking for a sharp pair of eyes to give your English, writing, or political science textbook a final review before it goes to press? I am adept at catching factual and grammatical errors that others overlook. My journalism background includes 10 years' experience in copyediting. Since September 2008, I have worked as a developmental writing instructor and tutor at Broward College in South Florida. In addition, I am the author of hundreds of published articles, ranging from light lifestyle pieces to in-depth news features.
My bachelor's degree includes a major in political science and 36 hours of English courses. Since college, I have completed several continuing education courses in editing and creative writing. If you want to give me a try, I would be happy to take your proofreading and copyediting tests.
