"Working with Michael has been one of the best experiences I’ve had on Upwork. He’s not just a meticulous editor but a true creative partner." —François Avisse, Novelist, "Control" "Mike is smart. He is thoughtful. He honors my work. He makes me a much better writer than I am." —William O. Roberts, Jr., Author, "Crossing the Soul's River: A Rite of Passage for Men" "I've hired many proofreaders over the years and he was the BEST!" —Sylvia G., Author, "The Medicare Mama's Guide to Medicare and Social Security Retirement" "Mike was an exceptional collaborator with edits that were consistently sharp and thoughtful. He is a seasoned writing coach -- and he consistently pushed for clarity, precision, and strength in every sentence." —Robert Lewis, Author, "Robert's Extremely Nerdy Guide to SAT Vocabulary" Hello! 👋 I'm Mike — My superpowers: Copy and line editing. Proofreading. Writing copy. I pay attention to the small details — I have a knack for spotting the miscue that nobody else spots. I can transform complex ideas into clear, elegant language. My background: I bring decades of experience in writing and writing instruction, proofreading, editing, and publishing books, stories, large/small writing projects, speeches, presentations, research arguments, blogs, poems, personal narratives, and essays. (I also support the Oxford comma but will humbly bend to your wishes if you do not!) What I can do: 1) Copy editing and proofreading: I have an eagle eye for spotting any kind of error. These might include grammar infractions, verb tense agreement, punctuation, spelling, typos, regionalization (i.e. British/Canadian stylization), capitalization, homonym errors, sentence structure...you name it. I will spot it so we can fix it. I get a thrill when I find the tiny things that most people miss—that odd extra space, lost period, or missing quotation marks. 2) Line editing: I'll help you rework and rephrase complex ideas into simple, elegant, clear sentences. I have an exceptional ear for tone and voice and can preserve your unique style while sharpening and polishing your prose. Line editing is usually performed ahead of the copy editing. I am able to do line and copy editing simultaneously, but depending on the scope and needs of your writing project, it may take longer. 3) Academic research, proofreading/editing: I have an academic background and am adept at helping academics and researchers with academic journal submissions, proofing copy, formatting citations, and adhering to any unique style guides and submission requirements. 4) Developmental editing: I can do "big picture" collaboration and offer feedback for memoir, nonfiction, academic research, literary fiction, poetry, others within my range of expertise and comfort. Extras: I bring over two decades of experience as a master English teacher in American private and public schools. So, I always bring honesty, dependability, flexibility, teachability, and a desire to jump in and learn new things. If I don't know about a topic, I will research and read until I do. I bring tremendous value as a team person and flexible, creative collaborator who can improvise and pivot on a dime to deliver results ahead of your deadline. I have exceedingly high standards for my clients' end products. See what my clients have to say: "He takes complex ideas that have not yet matured to a point of clarity so those ideas are not only comprehensible, but practicable. I've published two books and cannot even remember the services of an editor. They were neither helpful nor hurtful. Mike is the total opposite. He makes my ideas REAL." — William O. Roberts, Jr., Author, "Crossing the Soul's River: A Rite of Passage for Men" "Mike was an exceptional collaborator on my vocabulary book, with edits that were consistently sharp and thoughtful. He not only caught the tiniest of typos and stylistic errors, but also pointed out where entries needed more nuance and -- as a seasoned writing coach -- consistently pushed for clarity, precision, and strength in every sentence. His work made the finished project truly shine." – Robert L., Author, "Robert's Extremely Nerdy Guide to SAT Vocabulary" "I've hired many proofreaders over the years and he was the BEST!" –Sylvia G., Author "Michael is a great editor. He communicated well with me and finished the work quickly. I paid him more than we had agreed on initially because I could see the value he brought to the project. I highly recommend him." – Christine F., Editor "Michael provided excellent help with my project — proofreading and copy editing an academic document. I would certainly work with him again for projects that required proofreading or formatting. He displayed a keen eye for detail." – Ewan K.

Are you worried about your spelling or grammar? Do you need someone to check for consistency throughout your project? Does your work need a little polish before being published? Or maybe you need to collaborate with someone to work out the kinks in your writing? Look no further; I can help. (I even know how to properly use a semi-colon and can easily explain it to you. Or I can fix it for you, and you never have to worry about it!) My varied background (high school science teacher, lab technician, zookeeper, cashier...), intense thirst for knowledge, and eagle eye make me the editor/proofreader you need. I have a wide range of information already in my head and the ability and desire to research anything else that I need to know for a project.
