Professional Experience

I have a wealth of experience proofreading and editing for several publications and individuals on a freelance basis. I’m adapt to reading both general and specialized material and have completed assignments across a spectrum of subjects, from fiction and nonfiction to legal papers and news articles. It is through these experiences that I established my professional communications company, T. Classy Print, designed to provide expertly crafted and edited material for clients from a multitude of areas in publishing. My full range of abilities includes: proofreading, copy editing, copy writing, grant writing, and speech writing.   My schedule is flexible enough that I am able to take on projects with very little notice and produce them on rush turnarounds. I pride myself on never missing a deadline or failing to fulfill a client’s request to receive high quality finished product.
