Hire the Best Line Editing Freelancers in Salt Lake City, UT

I have spent more than two decades honing my skills in document review, editing, and QA, consistently making these tasks a central focus of my professional work. In past projects, I’ve revised training materials to meet global audience needs, refined operational documents to help teams run more accurately and efficiently, restructured in-person educational materials for digital delivery, and edited non-profit marketing materials to inspire readers to act. I regularly work shoulder-to-shoulder with subject matter experts to translate highly technical language into clear copy tailored to the audience. I bring a deep sense of ownership and precision to all my editorial projects. With the majority of my career spent as a remote worker, I am comfortable working independently, communicating proactively, and using a variety of industry-standard collaborative tools to manage version control and asynchronous feedback. I look forward to discussing how my specialized skills in technical editing and high-stakes QA can contribute to the success of your current projects.

My range of abilities and niches in English include copy editing, developmental editing, professional writing, and editing research papers. I have a bachelor's degree in communication (with a news/journalism emphasis) along with an English minor at Brigham Young University–Idaho. Through my studies and previous jobs, I have acquired a great knowledge of MLA-style writing, as well as knowledge in APA, AP, and Chicago. I have been published in places from my college newspaper to online magazines, and I currently have two books published on Amazon. With this practice in the fine art of crafting and arranging engaging sentences, I aspire to become a newspaper editor.
