    BUSINESS ☽ CREATIVE ☾ ACADEMIC ► Content editing — big picture attention to style, structure, and story-telling elements. ► Line editing — focused attention to word choice, clarity, pacing, and flow. ► Proofreading — ensuring flawless punctuation and grammar, and that your final product is properly formatted and free from typos. If you need a second pair of eyes (and let's be honest—who doesn't?), I'm here to help. Whether your project is business or personal, academic or non-academic, fiction or non-fiction, I will improve its readability while maintaining your original voice and intent. My background is in academia (PhD, Political Theory, 2018), and I have 15+ years of highly varied professional experience as an editor. Past projects I've been hired for include novels, memoirs, short stories, children’s books, website copy, journal articles, marketing materials, textbooks, financial literacy blogs, and a series of books on personal wellness, just to name a few. ————— I am available to those who need a quick turnaround on a single project, as well as to those who are interested in building a long-term relationship with an editor who they can trust. I also have experience helping independent authors self-publish through Kindle Direct Publishing (which distributes e-books, paperbacks, and hard covers). If you want, I can see your manuscript through all aspects of the formatting and uploading process.

    Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a professional writer with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Boston University. Having poured my mind and heart into hundreds of highly praised essays, research articles, and projects throughout college, I gradually developed into the prolific writer I am today. A few of my poems and essays have been featured in my university’s CORE Curriculum journal. I was hired by many fellow students as well as principal investigators to proofread and edit their work. This includes grant proposals, cover letters, and resumes. After college, I started Upwork and have been active since as I have thoroughly enjoyed making an impact via my writing, and freelancing has been one of my main sources of income. As seen on the work history section of my profile, I have been fortunate to be approved by several blog owners and marketers who continue to hire me for further projects. My success as a writer comes from the immense care that I put into researching, writing, and polishing material that will connect with a vast audience.

    Keep them reading. Get them to buy. That's what a good copywriter can do. Copywriting is not just putting words down on paper, it's using them to create a feeling, to convey knowledge, to make something impersonal suddenly personal. Hi, I'm Christine, a Chicago-based writer who's spent thousands of hours behind a keyboard writing short and long-form fiction, non-fiction, academic papers, and tons of copy. With 8 years of experience, I deliver what you need. My goal? To increase your profits while saving you time. I'll convert readers into buyers by grabbing their attention, getting them excited about your product or service, and making sure they know what you're selling isn't a choice, it's a must-have. Some of the services I offer: - Articles - Resumes - Blog Posts - Email Copy - Book Blurbs - Back Cover Copy - Facebook Ad Copy - Product Descriptions Why can I do these things? Because... - I'm a native English speaker. - I have a Bachelor's Degree in English. - I've worked as an English teacher, so I can actually spot typos! - I've published and polished hundreds of ebooks, newsletters, emails, and ads. Ever hire a writer who sounds great on paper, only to find out they can't actually write? Maybe they lied about their ability. Maybe they tried their best but just don't understand the nuances of English spelling and grammar. Skip the hassle and the headache and hire someone who "gets" it. Time and money are precious. Don't waste yours. I offer fast turnaround times and consistency. Whether you just need someone to polish existing copy or a brilliant piece written from scratch, I'm your gal! If you want to talk, click “Invite to Job” in the upper right-hand corner, and let's see if we're a good fit. Please make sure to talk to me first before sending any offers.
