    *** Please note, I get a fair number of invitations to interview for jobs where the budget is very low, $50 or $25 and so on. While I would like to help, I just don't have the time for smaller or low-budget projects. I am looking for larger, multi-hour projects that are paid on an hourly basis (not flat fee) and have a minimum budget of $500. Thanks for understanding. *** I have over 30 years of experience in research, evaluation, statistics, and project management. I have advanced evaluation and statistical analytic skills and am fluent in Stata and SPSS and have been developing my analytic skills using R to where I am now comfortable working in this language as well.. I also use Mplus for latent variable modeling. I have designed and analyzed online surveys using Survey Monkey, Qualtrix, and REDCap. I have a PhD in clinical psychology and am a tenured Full Professor. I teach beginning and intermediate statistics to doctoral and master's level students. I also teach program evaluation and mental health policy, including substance abuse policy. For samples of my writing style, you are welcome to use the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon to review sections of my book: Substance abuse in America: A documentary and reference guide. I am also happy to provide samples of papers published in peer-reviewed journals. My writing and oral skills are excellent and I am comfortable both developing as well as conducting trainings, workshops, and presentations. I can also help with editing and writing technical or non-technical documents but I am highly selective about this kind of work. I will be happy to review sections in dissertations and theses, but I will not write these or other student papers because I believe this violates academic integrity. I also will not accept homework assignments for the same reason. Things I can help you do: 1) Translate data in Excel or ASCII format into a data set for analysis in just about any commonly used statistical program. 2) Run basic screening and descriptive statistics such as frequencies, measures of central tendency and dispersion, and distributional statistics to assess skew and kurtosis. 3) Run bivariate analyses such as t-tests, correlations, and chi-square tests as well as non-parametric procedures like Kruskal-Wallis. 4) Check missing values and conduct imputation-based analyses for missing data as needed. 5) Run more advanced analytical models including: factorial ANOVA, regression (OLS, binary, ordinal, and multinomial logistic as well as Poisson and negative binomial), GEE for repeated measures data, HLM, factor analysis, latent class analysis, SEM, and growth mixture models. 6) Review and advise on statistical analyses already run including interpretation of the findings. 7) Review, advise, and edit write-ups of statistical results and methods sections. 8) Prospective advice on study design, including sampling, measures, and data collection protocols. 9) Write and edit proposals. I am available to be a project evaluator and would be happy to help you write the evaluation section of your proposal as well as conduct the evaluation if funded. Or, if you just need a review and editing of your proposal, I can do that as well. 10) Develop surveys and survey questions. I have extensive experience developing surveys including online surveys using tools such as Survey Monkey, REDCap, and Qualtrics. If you are unsure whether I can help with your project, please do not hesitate to send me a message. I reply promptly and will give you an honest answer. I never take on work that I don't feel I can complete successfully and within your time frame or which might take me an inordinate amount of time.

    From 2007 to 2017 I was the owner of the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography, which published 40 books for total distribution of over 20,000 copies. Along the way, CCLaP's books won or were finalists for a half-dozen awards, including the Pushcart Prize, the Lambda Award for LGBTQ literature, and the Independent Publisher Book Award; and the center itself was named one of the 10 best indie presses in the United States by both BookRiot.com and Poets & Writers magazine. Now I bring that same award-winning deep editing experience to your own self-published or small-press manuscript, helping you hone it with a fine knife into the best book it can possibly be. I specialize in "developmental" editing (also known as "content editing"), taking a big-picture look at your manuscript and identifying strengths and weaknesses in plot, character, pacing, style and tone, and giving you no-bones advice about how "publishable" it currently is. I also regularly do copy editing (also known as "line editing"), focusing in on a word-by-word basis to correct mistakes in what my industry calls GUPS (grammar, usage, punctuation and spelling). Other services include simple "post-production proofreading" for typos and missing punctuation; complete rewriting of entire sections of text for better clarity; specialized academic work using the Chicago Manual of Style, APA and Bluebook; and short documents like memos, web articles, website copy and promotional material for enterprise and other corporate clients. I believe in being transparent and consistent with my fees, so here are my rates in advance: Simple proofreading for typos: 0.5 cents per word Developmental editing: 1 cent per word Copy editing: 1 cent per word Developmental + copy edit for the same document: 1.5 cents per word Rewriting text into a more readable form: 1.5 cents per word Doctoral dissertations: 2 cents per word Journalism: 3 cents per word Enterprise clients: 5 cents per word All of these rates are also open for discussion and best offers, so just drop me a line if you'd like to discuss the subject more. See my portfolio section at the bottom of the page for a broad selection of testimonials from authors I've worked with as a freelancer, links to some of the books CCLaP still has for sale at Amazon, and praise my books have garnered over the years from such publications as Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, the Chicago Tribune, HTMLGIANT, and more. I'm happy to say that I've had a top-rated designation here at Upwork (given to the top 10 percent of all freelancers based on client satisfaction scores) since January 2021 without a break, and have consistently maintained a job success score between 95% and 100% that entire time too. I look forward to hearing from you. *Proud member of the American Copy Editors Society* *Proud member of the Romance Writers of America* *Certification, Academic Copy Editing, Poynter Institute for Media Studies* AI PLEDGE: I promise that all work I complete for clients has been, and will always be, accomplished using only my human brain and ten human fingers, never using AI bots, Grammarly, or other software options. I encourage you to demand this promise from all the freelancer candidates you interview and work with!

    I'm an experienced video producer/editor based in Chicago seeking freelance projects. I've created successful TV shows, commercials, and digital media over various platforms from inception to the final touches in post-production, plus I'm extremely energetic and fun to work with! You can view samples of my work at my website listed below in the portfolio section. I've been in the video production industry for over 15 years. I spent over 7 years in Chicago producing and editing TV programming for PBS-WTTW. There, I produced and edited the TV show "Check, Please!" which, with over 100,000 viewers weekly, was one of the top dining/food influencers in Chicago. I also produced and edited a talk show called "My Chicago" where we conducted "interviews-on-wheels" in a car traveling through the streets of Chicago. In addition to my experience working for PBS in Chicago, I freelanced on a number of different projects where I created digital content and commercials for a wide variety of corporate clients, often for same-day delivery. In 2017, I followed my passion to NYC, where I became the video specialist for Tribune Publishing's food website, The Daily Meal. At The Daily Meal, my focus was capturing the dynamic food scene in New York through the eye of my camera lens, while also educating viewers with unique recipe videos, visually dazzling dishes, and tasty information that every home cook will appreciate. I solely produced, shot, and edited 300+ videos. My fiance and I returned to Chicago in the spring of 2022 to continue our work as freelancing partners and be closer to family. I have a fairly flexible schedule, which allows me to do plenty of creative editing and occasional filming. With my passion for video storytelling, and my experience working on a plethora of different types of projects, I'd be thrilled to help with any of your video needs.

    Portfolio : Some items can be viewed below - Please message me for a link to my full portfolio. Due to Upwork restrictions, my link cannot be posted here. My main focus over the years has been graphic design and photography, as well as a side of marketing. Every aspect of a creative field appeals to me, though my creative side has always been balanced out by my curiosity of the business world. And that’s how I’d like to think I ended up where I am. I love to create beautiful but functional pieces of art. Whether that function is to be hung on a wall or to drive customers to a website and connect them with a brand and product. I love it all. Any print or web job, big or small is welcome. I have a passion for publications and website design - with experience in many areas beyond those. If your project requires a new area to explore, I will excitably research new solutions and work with you to come up with the best design possible. My Philosophy The world is full of visual messages and lately the media has been on a mission to deliver a sensory overload. I feel it is my mission as an artist to create visually appealing work to give back a little to the world around me. Design, photography and marketing are not simply putting words and imagery together, nor are they a way to shout information at a consumer until they listen. They are a way of expressing information that is both useful and appealing to a viewer and the sender. When someone comes across information that visually captures their attention amongst the noise of every day life, that information is retained. And in my book, that is a successful piece of art.

    Top Skills: PROOFREADING/EDITING (essays, manuscripts, online content, etc.) SCREENPLAY/SCRIPT EDITING (TV scripts, feature screenplays, and shorts) COPYEDITING (articles, blog posts, marketing material, etc.) My excellent writing skills and grasp of language arts stem from my undergraduate education in an honors program where I studied humanities and literature. Earning all A's in law school writing classes, drafting hundreds of legal documents, and writing award-winning teleplays and feature-length screenplays have caused my sharp grammar skills to become second nature. I have an eagle eye for proofreading and editing and am familiar with several word processing programs and marketing funnels, including Word, Google Docs, Final Draft, Fade In, Stripo, Buffer, and Pagefly. I'm happy to provide deliverables that either show or don't show my revisions; my clients can choose one way or receive both! I have written and edited two novels--the first two volumes in THE TEDDY BEAR CHRONICLES crime thriller series for adults. I am comfortable with proofreading/editing both short and lengthy written materials. Furthermore, I am a former English tutor... I have four years of experience teaching students of all ages excellent grammar and proofreading skills. They all substantially improved their grades while working with me. It was a wonderful experience to see them succeed. Lastly, I proofread and edited my scripts, which have earned high praise (winner, finalist, nominee, and semi-finalist) in several film festivals and contests between 2019 and 2023, including Underground Indie Film Festival, Burbank International FF, Big Apple, HollyShorts, Flicker's Rhode Island, Hollywood Horrorfest, and Fade In Awards. I'd love to help you make your writing work shine!
