I learned to read at age three, and thus began my love affair with words. I am currently working as a freelance editor/proofreader/writer. I also worked as an editor and then Senior Acquisitions Editor for an indie publisher for two years. I have various hobbies and interests (music, health, outdoor activities, nutrition, natural living), and I am always looking to change things up. I have many years of experience as a hairstylist with specialties in naturally curly hair and organic color. My all-time passion is editing fiction, but I love working on many types of materials—both editing and writing. It is exhilarating to me to be able to take a piece of written work and tweak, polish, and prune it until it flows smoothly. I would love to have a chance to help you with your work!

No AI; all work is 100% human! I have a love for the written word and a razor-sharp eye for errors! I’m the indie author and small publisher’s best friend, because my editing is a valuable combination of copy, line, and developmental. I look at the manuscript's ENTIRE scope, the viability of the storyline as well as the writing. I also offer storyline/plot evaluations. Romance publishers, in particular, need this service to prevent spending hundreds of dollars on stories that contain implausible and inaccurate situations that render them un-publishable. Romance is my specialty; however, I also edit nonfiction, business, and medical documents, as well as other fiction genres. I treat each client’s document as if my name were going to be publicly listed as the author. Contact me, and let's discuss what I can do for you! Here’s a brief summary of the services I offer: EDITING. In addition to making developmental suggestions regarding structure, pacing, plot, and characterization (the latter two for fiction), I check the entire document for typos, overused/misused/missing words, incorrect facts, inconsistencies, redundancies, contradictions, implausibilities, confusing narrative, pronoun misuse, adverb overuse, point-of-view (in fiction) errors, tense, transitions, clarity, syntax, and of course, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure. PROOFREADING. Commonly believed to be the same as editing…it’s not. Proofreading should be done after editing is complete and before publishing or submission. This includes correcting missing or incorrect punctuation, incorrect word usage, misused homonyms, missing words, doubled words, irregular word or line spacing, inconsistencies in statements and formatting, typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors. PLOT/STORYLINE EVALUATIONS. Are you a small publisher who has spent hundreds, or even thousands, on stories that turn out to be worthless? Let me evaluate your ghostwriter’s storyline before you pay to have it written, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars. I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it and make suggestions for resolution (or inform you that it’s hopeless). I’ll also review the first 500 words of the manuscript. GHOSTWRITING. Anything I write for you is guaranteed to need little editing. However, I only consider ghostwriting if a) the client provides a story outline, b) there is a reasonable weekly output of 6-8k words, and c) I am paid at least 3 cents per word. TRANSCRIPTION/TYPING. Dictated or handwritten: random thoughts/notes, correspondence, medical reports, fiction or nonfiction manuscripts, and one-on-one interviews or conversations (I do not transcribe reports with more than two speakers). My experience: • Professional writer for over 20 years, nonfiction (newspaper columnist) and fiction (40+ novels of romance and women's fiction published under my pen name(s), plus ghostwritten titles). • Professional proofreader who worked for pharmaceutical giant Abbott Labs in that capacity. • Experienced editor with an 11-year history on Upwork. Top Rated. • Retired multispecialty medical transcriptionist; qualified to edit medical documents. • Romance specialist. With so many published romance novels to my name, I possess a thorough understanding of the genre and know what works and what doesn't. I am a book doctor who can clean up plots that contain outlandish elements and revise them into a plot that is both engrossing and *believable.* • Owner/operator of Red Pen Edits by BLU.

Professional editing services designed to deliver a clear message, error-free documents, and clear communication that represents your business to the highest degree of professionalism. What I Do: • I specialize in editing technical and academic documents to the highest level of professional writing. • I help businesses and individuals win opportunities, achieve support, and reach their ambitions with written pieces that are clear, concise, and have flow. Who I Help: • I help tech companies, startups, and academics ensure that their message shines through with clarity and persuasiveness. • I understand that every word counts. I help entrepreneurs, innovators, and thought leaders communicate complex concepts with ease. ----- The best writing is transparent; it does not draw attention to itself but instead helps the reader engage with the ideas and encourages them to continue reading. Besides editing, I am also a professional musician. My musical training and experience help me to understand the importance of rhythm to both music and written language. Musical lines use flow and rhythm to engage the listener and pull them along to the end. Sentences and paragraphs work the same way; the rhythm and flow lead the reader through the sentence, slowing on important points and moving forward to the next phrase. I have extensive experience as an educator, scholar, and academic administrator and have written a book, scholarly papers, grant proposals, curriculum design, instructional materials, and technical guides. I have served as a manuscript reviewer for several publishers, including Prentice Hall and Oxford University Press. I have been teaching writing at the university level for 21 years. I have also guided many students through research papers, theses, and graduate school applications. My students have been accepted into graduate programs at Harvard, UCLA, University of Chicago, Columbia, University of Michigan, and others. Continuing and long-term clients include: • SRI International (Stanford Research Institute) • Valiantys • AvidThink • James Lange, best-selling author and financial advisor • tech firms, management and technology consultants, professors, Ph.D. students, op-ed authors, websites, non-profit organizations, etc. More testimonials from Upwork Clients: "I've tried many different freelancers to edit/proofread my writing, and Robert, by far, is the best one." "Robert's product quality was expert level, and his turnaround time exceeded my expectations. I will definitely seek to work with him again in the future."
