Hire the Best Copy Editors
in Japan

I'm a writer & editor with experience in fiction, non-fiction, and technical writing. Whether you've got a full-length novel to be proofread or a blog post that needs SEO, I can help!

Born with a red pen in my hand, proofreading and editing is my calling. As a lifelong bookworm, I know personally how small errors in literature can negatively affect the reader's experience, and consider it my honorable mission to rid the world of such avoidable mistakes. I'm into small details, following the rules, and staying behind the scenes. I don't dream big; my passion is helping others to achieve their big dreams. I'd love to work on the back-end with you, to help bring your visions to their full potential. My portfolio includes proofreading website content, formatting documents for consistency within the brand, transcribing and rewriting videos into blog articles, ghostwriting, and the like. I love to work with clients for whom English is a second language.

I majored in Creative Writing at the University of North Texas, and I aim to make a living as a freelance writer. During university, I supplemented my income with freelance editing and proofreading positions for local graduate students and small businesses. I have written screenplays and spec scripts for fun in the past, and I am interested in moving in that direction should the need arise. I am most familiar with Celtx, but I am willing to learn other programs if necessary. My experience as an English teacher for more than eight years gives me the essential background required to provide lessons or assistance on English spelling or private tutoring. As a freelancer for your organization, business, or private purposes, I hope to offer a mutually satisfactory experience. Although my experience is limited thus far, I am an enthusiastic and energetic writer who loves English. I look forward to working with you! よろしくお願いします！
