    I am a member of the International Association for Professional Writers and Editors (IAPWE) and I have been a writer most of my life. I am 65 now. In high school, all four years, I was writing at a college level. I had a poem published in a book when I was a senior. I have written, edited, and published my own motivational books on amazon.com and had my first book sold there in 2000. I have done editing, ghostwriting, proofreading, resumes and court documents for people. I can write in the APA 7 style format as well as MLA. I am a motivational speaker, too, so I have superb professional writing and speaking skills. I have also been a reading and English/ESL tutor for adults and children since 2006. I am dependable and will have all work done for you on the date you request for the deadline. Regular communication is important to me, so let's keep in touch. Thank you!

    I'm a skilled editor with a lot of experience as both a writer and a reader in a variety of genres, ranging from fiction to nonfiction to business. My extensive experience in the military and as a civilian business analyst has allowed me to understand a wide variety of communication styles and needs. I consider capturing a writer's individual voice a key aspect of good communication, working with it rather than erasing it to ensure information flow to the customer. This has become especially important in an era where AI-assisted writing makes it easy to put content into a nominally readable form that can still lack a needed human touch- or worse, still contain fingerprints of AI usage! I can help you polish your work so it can stand out to readers while saying everything you want to say as clearly as possible.
