Testimonial.
Editing Students’ Essays for Applications to Universities in the US.
During 2023, Reina Luck has edited over 100 essays for me. Her substantive editing is consistently excellent. She adds significant value by going the extra mile and proactively suggesting alternative words, phrases, or areas for rewrite, all of which enhance the quality of the essays. She is helpful and efficient and always meets the tight deadlines - usually 12-24 hrs. Her communication with me is prompt and any problems are ironed out quickly. I would highly recommend utilizing Reina’s services.

I'm known by my peers as a writer with a keen understanding of plot structure and character development. My goal is to always enhance and maintain an authors personal style whilst ensuring clarity, grammer, consistency and cohesiveness. I write my feedback in two different ways: from the reader's perspective and from an analytical perspective.

✅ I do not use AI in any of my work, so it's a guarantee that you'll recieve personalised service at a professional level.
✅ I am a lover of researching and am extremely adaptable - I aim to ensure my task has been heavily researched and fact checked before submission.

Pre-'Upwork', I edited and proofread two very different genres (one science-fiction and one autobiography) for my friends who eventually published! And, as a teacher, I have gained a lot of experience correcting ESL students' writings, so I believe editing/proofreading is right up my ally.
I am very interested in becoming more skilled in the areas of writing, editing and proofreading (especially writing-- both technical and creative), and believe my time with Upwork (and working with you!) will accomplish that.
I have a strong desire for learning new things and teaching others. I have a great passion for the Bible, Science/Physics/Astronomy, Science-Fiction, and Technology (with the occasional conspiracy theory thrown in, for good measure).
I was in the U.S. Air Force for four years and fixed airplanes for eight years. So, I have a plethora of military and mechanical knowledge. In addition, I was a Private Pilot for about six years, so I have a decent amount of Aviation knowledge too (I also taught Aviation English to two ESL Air Traffic Controllers).
I have independently built a sustainable, eco-house; so, I guess I could add that to my "skills" as well.
I look forward to working with you, wherever I might fit in!
P.S. My work is 100% human. No AI used (unless desired by the client).
