    Experience in journalism + special education isn't as divergent as it sounds. It makes for a unique set of skills that are ideal for projects requiring a high level of attention to detail and strong written communication. So what's that mean? *As someone with freelance writing experience, I'm well aware that I may need to mold my voice to fit a project. I can do that. I've written nonfiction articles across the genres, but with a particular emphasis on health, tourism, marketing, local politics, education, and the occasional dog wedding. *As someone with a growing portfolio of copywriting experience, particularly in the niche areas of B2B, tourism, marketing, real estate and health/wellness, I'm ready to not only fit my writing to the tone of your business, but create copy that is easy-to-read, SEO-friendly, and optimized for the web. *As someone with teaching experience, particularly in the field of special education, I have patience for days, and an attention to detail unparalleled by those who have never worked in fields where there's a constant fear of being sued. *As someone with staff writing and editing experience, I thrive on deadlines, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and accuracy. *And, as a lover of words and all things grammar, I take great pride in making a piece of work the best it can be, whether that's my own or a client's. This is all very intriguing, right? By the way, if you're looking for a lighter touch, I'm also the creator of a humor and travel blog of my own. This may not mean much to you, but it has forced me to become well-versed in SEO strategies and the idea of marketing myself as a brand, two areas I'm happy to provide support in as well. If you feel like I'm a good fit for your project, message me!

    I’m a detail-oriented perfectionist with a passion for language, which makes me the ideal copy editor or proofreader for your magazine/resume/website/pizza menu. I have a BFA in creative writing with a focus on poetry, so I know words matter, and whether I'm writing or editing, I bring that care and dedication to every project. Pro-oxford comma, but if that’s not your style we can still make it work! I’m flexible enough to have thrived in work environments as varied as a hotel kitchen and a theater tech booth, and while most of my editing experience is in Chicago Style, I’ve worked with a variety of style guides, and even created a house style guide for internal and audience-facing documents. I was raised in Scotland and now live in the United States; my fluency in both British and American English is an asset if you're working on both sides of the pond. I have five years of editing and proofreading experience, including literary magazines, interview transcripts, and image captions, and I'm comfortable working with Microsoft Office and Adobe Suite.

    Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a professional writer with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Boston University. Having poured my mind and heart into hundreds of highly praised essays, research articles, and projects throughout college, I gradually developed into the prolific writer I am today. A few of my poems and essays have been featured in my university’s CORE Curriculum journal. I was hired by many fellow students as well as principal investigators to proofread and edit their work. This includes grant proposals, cover letters, and resumes. After college, I started Upwork with the hope of funding my optometry school education via my talent in writing. Though I am only one month in (as of 11/18), my work has already been approved by several blog owners and marketers who continue to hire me for further projects. My success as a writer comes from the immense care that I put into researching, writing, and polishing material that will connect with a vast audience. Whether you are looking for a fresh pair of eyes for your article, resume, or cover letter, a brilliant content writer for your website or blog, or an entrepreneurial mind who will help you advertise and grow your business, you will be glad you hired me.

As a Professional Editor, I have extensive experience editing various types of written content, including blog posts, novels, e-books, social media posts, and more. For 3 years, I worked as a Managing Editor for a large writing agency. There, I edited a high volume of content on a daily basis for grammar, conciseness, fluff, and more. I have also done developmental book editing to transform stories from good to absolutely amazing. *** MY BLOG EDITING PROCESS *** Here's how I approach editing for blogs: 1. Check the content for plagiarism using several online plagiarism detection tools. 2. Correct spelling and grammar errors using Grammarly Premium. 3. Reword phrases for clarity, flow, and tone. 4. Adjust heading and paragraph spacing for ease of reading. 5. Optimize headings, meta tags, and page titles for SEO (upon request). 6. Do a final read-through and make any last-minute adjustments. 7. Submit the finished piece. *The editing process may change based on your preferences. *** MY BOOK EDITING PROCESS *** 1. Read through the entire manuscript to get a sense of the overall structure, tone, and themes. 2. Identify any major structural issues, such as plot holes, inconsistent character development, or pacing problems. 3. Check for consistency in details such as character names, locations, and timelines. 4. Look for areas where the writing may be unclear or confusing and make changes in-text to clarify. 5. Review the dialogue to ensure that it sounds natural and fits the characters' voices. 6. Identify any repetition or redundancy and make changes to streamline the text. 7. Check for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. 8. Evaluate the writing style and suggest changes to improve the flow and readability of the text. 9. Ensure that the book follows the appropriate style guidelines for its genre. 10. Consider the target audience and ensure that the book will appeal to them. *Of course, the specific steps I take may vary depending on the book and the author's goals, but this is my general process. *** EDITING SERVICES *** 1.

I may be one person, but I'm half-a-dozen freelancers. 2️⃣ If I Don't Know It, I Learn It I taught myself digital film, video editing, Adobe Photoshop, HTML, and how to deliver a decent punchline... before I turned 18; and I've been self-educating ever since.

If I disagree with your strategy, I will express that and provide my reason for doing so.
