If it's superb writing and expert editing you need, you're in the right place. My forte is making sure your final product reflects your inner genius. Whether you're a corporate CEO or a one-man show, you'll get polished, professional content that lets your expertise shine. I've been editing professionally since 1993—everything from technical, financial, and scientific reports, blogs, SOPs, and manuals to manuscripts, poetry, motivational curricula, and annual reports. My writing is nimble and diverse, crafting persuasive proposals, compelling case studies, moving memoirs and bios, and creative, dynamic marketing assets. My work reflects my native U.S. English language. I'm downright fanatical (read: neurotic) about spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting. In addition to proofreading, I offer superior copyediting: improving phrasing, clarity, tone, and flow; identifying areas that need additional support; and writing new or revised material that genuinely connects with your reader. In 2019, I took a leap of faith and retired from a 26-year career in state government at age 43 (do the math if you want to!) to pursue my dream of editing and writing as a freelancer. Since then, I've been helping individuals and companies produce outstanding content of every sort. My reviews are truly humbling, and I encourage you to read a few. What's ahead? That depends on you! Join me on this journey. Reach out to get the ball rolling. I look forward to talking with you!

Hi! I'm Dante. I do expert work at intermediate rates. I conducted my course studies in English Literature and have gone on to use the skills I've developed in a variety of diverse contexts. Strong writing, of course, requires a mastery of the English language, but it also requires the ability to tell compelling stories. Throughout my career, I have combined these skills to excel professionally in non-profit development; business and academic ghostwriting; and theater criticism and, among my personal projects, fiction writing; songwriting; and philosophical essays. My most valuable asset is my ability to understand, internalize, and communicate my client's vision, using adept writing and editing skills to share your message in a compelling way. While my professional experience thus far highlights specific kinds of writing, I am happy to do it all! My freelance writing career (hundreds of projects!) has taught me to quickly research, assess and emulate the conventions of many different genres and media, enabling me to adapt my own writing style to suit your needs. I hope to hear from you!
