Writing/proofreading: I have been writing as a hobby since I was a child and have begun trying to turn my hobby as a profession. I have written numerous high scoring papers and essays for college classes. As a native English speaking writer, I pay close attention to grammar, punctuation, spelling and syntax, and my years of writing have given me a keen eye for catching mistakes in the afformentioned areas. Product Testing/Review: I often purchase on Amazon, Ebay, Mercari and other online stores. I often leave rating and reviews. My reviews are well written, detailed, and error free. *Please note: I do NOT do video reviews currently* & More: I am honest, hard working, detail oriented and passionate. I have a plethora of knowledge from many unique experiences to bring to the table. Most of all, I have a rare superpower: COMMON SENSE! Now that's something you don't see everyday!!!

If you're looking for a lowest-common-denominator editor that will take your work, run it through an automated grammar checker, and toss it back to you, I am not the person for you. If you want someone who will treat your work as if it were their own, nurture it, and make it bloom to its full potential, we should talk! I thoroughly enjoy fixing phrases that might not sound quite right, building more descriptive text in areas you feel need improvement, and ensuring consistency of flow and structure. Proofreader: I've corrected spelling, grammar, and punctuation for hundreds of items, from one-page letters to epic-length novels. The subjects range from simple children's books to quantum mechanics and everything in between. If unsure about a topic, I don't hesitate to ask the client questions about the text to ensure a phrase conveys the intended meaning. Senior Editor: As the sole text editor for DracoArts Studio since February 2003, my responsibilities include: Writing copy for advertisements and newspaper articles Editing the text of my own and others' articles Writing promotional materials and slogans Participating in marketing brainstorming Critiquing marketing designs My skills contribute to improved marketing campaigns for the companies whose promotions in which I participate. That work included proofreading County Woman Magazine, a monthly multi-subject edition of 48-64 pages. I consistently improved the quality of the articles I edited. Books: Besides being a published fiction and non-fiction author, I have edited and written copy for over twenty years. I thoroughly enjoy the detail required for such work, even in cases where the original author has little knowledge of grammar or even English language usage. I have successfully copy, line, and developmentally edited manuscripts up to 150,000 words. Children's Books: As one of my favorite subjects to work on, I have written, edited, or developmentally edited over eighty children's books for ages 4-16. This work includes numerous foreign writers who wanted to make their text work for English speakers and ESL (English as Second Language) readers for ages 4-11. Your work will not be handed off to someone you've never spoken to after you hire me, like many of the expensive agencies that make grandiose promises. All work and communication will be done directly with me. I will be far from the least costly freelancer you could find on Upwork, but my experience and expertise are worth the extra investment.

Hello and welcome to my profile. I’m an intuitive copy editor, a meticulous proofreader, an excellent copywriter and a thorough researcher. I’ve served as the final pair of eyes on books from a host of genres, as well as articles, blogs, website content, etc. intended for both general and academic audiences. My success at that work can be measured by the feedback I have received from many if not most of my clients, one of whom paid me a wonderful compliment by observing that "she makes you look good." That is, of course, the end goal of every copy editor. I am particularly careful to keep my clients informed throughout the course of each project, soliciting and incorporating their ideas and responding to their concerns to ensure their complete satisfaction with the finished product. A great deal of my work has involved theses and dissertations, especially those written using APA (7th edition) format. Throughout my freelance career, I have completed scores of projects for graduate and doctoral students from all over the world. One important proviso: I do light editing and substantial proofreading of academic work, but I take the concept of academic integrity very seriously. If you're looking for heavy editing, rewriting, or original writing, I cannot help you. I hope that we'll have an opportunity to work together.
