    Hello and welcome to the most magical, life-changing, awe-inspiring*, Overview section you will ever read! As I am not entirely sure how to follow that up; let me boast of my abilities, use a considerable amount of "I statements", and hope that I possess an appropriate amount of experience to assist with your project. I can provide unsurpassed attention to detail and professionalism to your project. I am cursed with the gift to find errors in everything I read. I am a strong believer that editing and proofreading are the most important steps in the process of producing anything with text. If I am reading a blog, a website, a social media post, even a text message, and someone has used the incorrect “your” or “you’re”, “then” or “than”, “there” or “their”, etc etc etc, it makes my skin crawl, while simultaneously, completely discrediting anything I read previously. My background includes, but is not limited to: Content Program Manager for Upwork’s Community Blog, Career CloseUp Program, and the Community’s Contributor Program. 5+ years volunteering to help locate missing people through their digital footprint, using OSINT gathering, web-mining, data examination, etc. Research and data entry as an underwriter for a FEMA contract. Logged 100,000+ pages, millions of words, of proofread content. Transcription for multiple private practices, with NDAs. Upwards of 5,000 audio hours transcribed. Running a successful eBay account with 100% positive seller feedback, over $50,000 in sales and 50-100 active postings at all times. Whether you need a proofreading expert, an editing ninja, a transcribing machine, a data master, or a writing and blog content connoisseur, I’m your contractor! I specialize in working under pressure and I’ve never met a deadline that I didn’t meet! Thank you for taking the time to read this and just think, once I’m working on your team, you’ll have so much more time to read all the things you’d like! *interpretations may apply.

    Whether it be for your a thought-provoking novel, passionate book of poetry, or an informational memoir, writing is the closest thing we can come to immortality. It is my duty as an editor to present it all in the best way it can be. Sometimes, we simply need a second set of eyes to catch those small details that would otherwise be over looked, or maybe those glaring issues are too daunting to tackle without some help. Perhaps you just need someone to give you a few ideas to get started again. Whether you're busy, confused, or just can't seem to get started, I am here to help! I am an experienced writer, editor, and proofreader with a certificate from Denver Publishing Institute, a one-of-a-kind graduate level program specializing in the publishing industry. Before that, I attended Cornell's creative writing program with a specialization in editing. I offer a series of different editing packages: • Developmental editing, for the writer who doesn't know where to go, how to start, or if you haven't used an editor before. This tackles the "larger picture", with a focus on plot, structure, and characters. • Structural editing, for the writer who is confident in their overall concept but needs help with organization and presentation of individual plot points. • Copy editing, for the writer who has the content and presentation of it figured out and now needs it cleaned up. This includes: formatting, spelling, and grammar in adherence to the style guide. • Proofreading, for the writer who has done it all and just needs that final check. Unlike copy editing, this only covers grammar, spelling, and clarity edits. This serves as a final check before your manuscript is finished and ready for next stages. Everything I do as an editor has a single purpose: to expand your horizons. When I work for you I’m doing what I can to help you be the best for both yourself and your reader.

    Hi, my name is Kaitlyn Schroeder. I currently work as a broadcast director at one of Phoenix's top news stations. I am looking to make some extra income from home. I am very productive, and I keep the promises that I make. I am really great at reading comprehension and proofreading, and that is why I would love to do some work in relation to those things. When I was in college (3.96 GPA), my classmates would ask me to proofread and edit their projects and essays because I was gifted at it. My job is dependent on time management and correcting errors on the fly, so I am the one to trust with ensuring errors will be found and corrected. I can help!
