    I am a really strong editor/proofreader who writes both fiction and non-fiction. As a writer, editor, copy editor, and proofreader, I've done freelance work for twelve years through my company, Wynnpix Productions. I edited over 60 books of fiction and non-fiction for Booktrope Publishing in Seattle and over 100 for Action Wealth Publishing in London. I have helped dozens of independent writers with everything from line editing and proofreading to file formatting and setup on all publishing platforms. Find many of my books linked on my website, WynnpixProductions dot com. I also do ghostwriting and copy writing and I'm skilled at formatting and assisting authors in all genres self-publish on paperback and ebook platforms around the world. I specialize in assisting artists, experts, and authors tell unique stories and share their messages, particularly in the areas of health and wellness, business and non-profit management, self-actualization and spirituality, film and media, and all aspects of arts and culture. I also write contemporary and MG/YA fiction, available on Amazon, and just published a family history in 3 languages. I have been an entertainment and non-profit media arts executive for decades, focusing on narrative feature film and the professional development of writers, producers, and directors. I led a national media diversity organization and have extensive experience in fundraising and advocacy. As a former film business and non-profit executive/producer, I have researched/written/re-written tons of proposals, reports, business letters, resumes, non-fiction, speeches, grants, etc. plus published short stories. I have a master's degree from UCLA in semiotics, film and media.. My editing work includes fiction (romance, supernatural, action, crime, historical, contemporary; faeries, dragons, a few zombies, quite a few startling true FBI tales; international, domestic, literary); non-fiction memoir, biography, workbooks, self-help and inspirational, business and high-tech, film and all arts. I have clients all around the world, including many in the UK, Uganda, and the African diaspora. I'm a native English-language speaker with a BA in English from a top school. My portfolio includes links to dozens of published edited, proofed, and formatted books plus grant proposals, published interviews, my own YA fiction and other writing (academic or fiction), and available samples in many genres. I can do transcriptions, markups, direct corrections (recommended), or even a combination. Chicago style preferred; can do MLA and others.

    I can do various kinds of work, including (but not limited to) English-Spanish translation, transcription, proofreading, handwriting/lettering, and acting as a virtual assistant. I was in a Spanish immersion program from K-12 and grew up speaking both English and Spanish at home. My ability to easily read, write, and understand both languages allows me to act as a translator when needed by my friends, family, or even strangers I encounter in public. I spent my time in college as a straight-A student constantly writing essays, so I have plenty of experience checking papers for grammatical errors and ensuring everything is worded correctly. My handwriting is something I take pride in, and I enjoy writing because it comes out nicely while also being perfectly legible. It also helps that I grew up doing art, so I can write in different styles. I can do assistant-type work, like answering emails, booking appointments, or typing out handwritten information. I am pretty tech-savvy and very familiar with social media, since I am Gen-Z and have been actively using my own socials for 10 years. I have 5 years of experience in customer service, including some managerial experience. I also have experience in remote data annotation work. I can't wait to work with you! I'm here to help. :)
