Professional/Personal Overview
Give me your tired phrases, your poor grammar, your huddled masses of ideas yearning to breathe free. Whether it is developmental or copy editing, I make text sing. My broad experience means I am as comfortable editing magazine features as I am fourth-grade readers. I apply scrupulousness to sentences while offering creative solutions that enhance a text as a whole. I also excel at editorial project management due to my years coordinating writers and editors for large textbook and magazine projects. Learn more about me at www.textunvexed.com.
