Hire the Best Legal Freelancers in Mississippi

I polish and perfect fiction and nonfiction writing by discerning and addressing opportunities for correction, enhancement, and clarification that authors and other editors miss. My polish will elevate your content to a level of engagement you may not have envisioned possible, and it will enhance your image as its creator. Before freelancing, I enjoyed a long, productive career as a corporate officer. In that role, I was the organization's go-to resource for appealing, reader-friendly writing of every kind. I now apply my extensive writing and editing skills to line editing and copyediting novels, other fiction, and nonfiction, including self-help, informational, and instructional content. I am highly proficient in punctuation and grammar, including syntax and verb tenses. If the writer has a style guide, I follow it to the letter. Otherwise, I adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style, with which I am deeply familiar. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees, am a certified proofreader, and am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA). I edit in Microsoft Word, use Track Changes to identify all revisions, and offer comments to provide my reasoning for changes that may not be self-explanatory. I also work in Google Docs and PDF. I am a native speaker of American English, and my vocabulary is extensive. I choose words to convey the writer's intent precisely, with color and impact. I conduct online research throughout my projects and provide links to websites I rely on in suggesting changes. I work on only one project at a time, focusing fully on polishing its content without sacrificing the author's voice or the writing’s tone. I am always happy to polish a sample of the author's writing at no cost before entering into a contract. I am open to working at a per-word or per-hour rate or for a flat fee, whichever the writer prefers.

As a librarian, I have done extensive amounts of online and offline research over the past several years. I’m also a library branch manager, so I’m in charge of numerous administrative responsibilities, including typing, data entry, data collection, and data management. I use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Google Sheets daily, and I love being able to put my many years of experience to work for others. Some of the data I’ve worked with have been in the form of PDF’s, spreadsheets, images, legal documents, medical claims, insurance claims, company invoices, patient records, product data, product descriptions, and receipts/payments - just to name a few. I’m a fast, proficient typist, and I'm also very organized and detail-oriented. I don’t return any project until I’m 100% satisfied with its accuracy. Due to my full-time job outside the home, I am only accepting fixed rate jobs at the present time. Thank you so much for understanding.
