Hi!
I would love a chance to show you that I may be exactly who you are looking for to work on your project! I am very accessible online when under contract and regularly send out progress updates. I am also a detail-oriented writer, and I consider correct spelling and grammar to be non-negotiable requirements of everything I do. Most of my clients re-hire me frequently or have plans to do so in the near future.
Proofreading and editing non-fiction and fiction materials in various formats (articles, books, websites, business documents, etc.), copy-editing, transcription, data entry, desktop publishing, research, product reviews and descriptions, creative writing, and informative guides are all things I do on a regular basis. I have edited quite a few eLearning courses covering topics such as dental hygiene, dating, health management, history, English, and more. I am happy to complete a small portion of your project to see if I meet your expectations before hiring, and I can also provide previously completed examples upon request. My work always passes Copyscape or any other checks for plagiarism (which is something I take very seriously and avoid at all costs). I consider each project to be highly confidential and have no problem signing a confidentiality agreement.
I take my commitment to each and every project very seriously. I have many years of experience as an administrative assistant in several non-profit organizations and churches where my duties included office management and various data entry and transcription tasks along with creating documents and spreadsheets to fit different needs and projects.
I am looking for short-term and/or long-term opportunities to both supplement my income and keep my editing and writing skills active while working from home. I am reliable and dependable, and I will never abandon any project. I also prefer to complete tasks sooner rather than later, and I usually do so before the deadline if at all possible.
Thank you ... I look forward to working with you!
