I have been writing poetry, prose and short stories for over thirty years. I took a serious interest in writing and literature by the time I entered middle school. I've been proofreading and editing as an amateur freelancer since highschool. The effort that I gave proofreading and teaching my peers about editing had made a significant difference in their grades. It was so rewarding that I started a writing workshop and editing club. Members of my club typically saw a five to ten point improvement in their essay and short answer grades within one quarter! I am detail oriented and attentive, I meet my deadlines, I am very communicative, I take pride in my work and I respect the work that my clients have put into their projects. That's is why I always give 100% on every project I work on.
