My professional copy-editing and proofreading abilities include fact-checking, grammar, spelling, style and punctuation. I'm also a writer who publishes a personal Substack blog called You Can Learn From Books, which is about reading, pop culture and other interests. I make sure the copy is clear and clean. It's a good way to polish my skills as an editor. My favorite genre is nonfiction, and I love helping authors with their memoirs, business books, self-help books, newsletters, blog posts and essays. Their stories and subjects are unique. I'm drawn to investments in human interest and the resourceful people who have overcome years of struggles to make their world the best it can be. Lives are affirmed through the writing. I provide feedback and suggestions for improving the overall flow and structure of a document. I love to work with writers on memoirs, business books, blog posts and newsletters. I edit in Microsoft Word and track changes before returning the document. I'm meticulous and methodical in Word because I want to do the best job for writers. Email, phone calls, texts and Facebook messages are the ways writers communicate with me. Input about the editing is appreciated, but writers have the final say on the completeness and accuracy of the work. That's why I encourage writers to accept or reject my changes in Word. I rely on Associated Press style, though I'm open to using other guides. If necessary, I will edit every day, (yes, even weekends) to guarantee the work is completed on time and to the client's satisfaction. [Recent work] • Freelancer for Legacy Launch Pad, a boutique publishing company in Los Angeles for which I do remote work at my home in Mississippi. • Editor of the You Can Learn From Books blog. Legacy Launch Pad authors I have edited since 2020: • Chris Joseph, "Life is a Ride" and the anthology "The Epiphanies Project" • Katie De Paola, "At Least You Look Good" • Jaydee Graham, "The Soul Grind" • Kelsey Chittick, "Second Half" • Shawn Wells, "The Energy Formula" • Dan Sykes, "Somatic Fanatic" • Emilia M. D’Anzica and Sabina M. Pons, "Pressing On as a Tech Mom" • Daniel Lebensohn, "The Art of the Real" • Diana Cannon-Ragsdale, "Loose Cannons" • Dan Nicholson, "Rigging the Game" [Skills] • Retired award-winning newspaper journalist with a demonstrated history of working with writers. • Skilled in AP Stylebook, storytelling, copy editing and headline writing. • Strong information technology professional. • Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to identify and correct errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling. • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to provide constructive feedback to authors.
