    Is your content working for you? (or at least not against you?) Does it bring in the sales, leads, or clients you want? Is it creating the following and community you crave? Do your eyes turn into little hearts when you think about it? No? Bummer. Sounds like your content may be a problem. Fortunately, I can help transform your problem into a solution! Well-done content can: –Get your site more traffic without having to pay for ads –Turn more traffic into more of what you want (sales, leads, clients, etc.) –Establish you and/or your site as a trustworthy authority –Increase customer/client/subscriber retention –Make you actually LIKE (possibly even LOVE) your site And it just so happens I know someone who writes exceptional and authentic content. (Me. It’s me. I know ME.) But that’s not all I can help you with–though that is quite a lot. I also provide: –content audits (that tell you what’s not working and how to fix it) –UX advice (because people won’t use your site if they don’t like using it) –editing and proofreading services tailored to your preferences –unrivaled research skills –a sense of humor like fine Champagne: dry and sparkling So if you’re tired of your content producing mediocre (or worse) results, send me an invite and a message, and we'll chat!

    “The most valuable of all talents is never using two words when one will do. Be direct, simple, brief, vigorous and lucid.” -- Thomas Jefferson and H.W. Fowler I am an editor with a passion for the written language! I graduated college with my BA in English Literature and Writing and took critical/analytical reading, grammar and creative writing courses that have influenced my editing style. I not only strengthen grammar, punctuation, syntax and spelling, but I also concentrate on developing a seamless piece of literature. My ultimate goal is assisting authors and writers alike in creating clear, concise, and consistent novels, articles and documents. I do all levels of edits, from developmental/content editing, to line editing, copy editing and proofreading. I have experience editing novels, short stories, poems, transcriptions, academic journal articles, blogs, theses, resumes, formal letters, website content, white papers and business documents.

    Having been a senior legal secretary for over 35 years, I am here to offer my expertise in helping you with audio/video transcription, proofreading, editing/scoping, PDF to Word and copy typing. I am efficient, accurate and pay close attention to detail. I was blessed with a bionic ear providing me with great listening skills. And, I am proud to say, I worked full-time as a legal secretary to pay for night classes at university and that provided me with a BA in English. During my time as a freelancer, I have transcribed thousands of documents for clients all over the world including podcasts, interviews, focus groups, deposition summaries, court hearings, quarterly earnings reports and many, many, many books. My typing speed, on a good day, is around 90 wpm. I answer my messages quickly and believe communication and honesty is best. My prices are fair and competitive. Yes, they may be a bit higher than large companies, however, I provide you with what I would want from a freelancer; manually transcribed, beautifully formatted, and ready-to-use documents. **My rate of $15/hour is per hour worked. Transcription starts at $60/audio hour.** Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit my profile page. I hope we can work together soon. Edde ☺

    I am a very detail-oriented person who does not accept “good enough” in anything I do. I become engrossed in work, easily spending hours ensuring everything is correct. I am an avid reader of fan-translated novels and manga and have gone so far as to edit personally made PDF files to correct mistakes. In the future, when my language skills are higher, I hope to do my own Japanese-to-English translations. Thank you for taking the time to read this excerpt and I hope you will consider giving this greenhorn the experience she needs to pursue this passion further.
