Hi there,
I strongly believe you’re looking for me. Here’s why.
As a published author, including a 250+ page Master's Thesis, you can certainly say that I know how to research an academic paper. Besides, I’m an adjunct research expert who uses print resources, online resources, Google Scholar, and other sites. My expertise is in the social sciences, economics and law fields especially international law - but I am amenable to working in other fields (except STEM). I enjoy the research process so you would enjoy working with me. BTW, I'm a great writing coach as well as a terrific proofreader!

Hello! My name is Christen, and human thoughts and behaviors have always fascinated me. Reading is my passion, and my imagination is fueled by the words of others. By combining my education and my love of reading, I would be privileged to proofread and copyedit your literary work to ensure it is the best that it can be.
I will perform a detailed edit in Microsoft Word. I will make certain that all spelling, grammar, punctuation, and subject-verb agreement are correct. I will also edit the work to confirm the content is consistent and free of errors.
I believe communication is the key to a great working relationship and encourage an open dialogue throughout the proofreading and editing journey.

I owe my language skills to a lifetime of obsessive reading. I love words and understand how the right one can make all the difference; I admire sentences that are elegant and convey just what is needed; I respect prose that complies perfectly with grammar rules. If these are the things you wish for your article/story/novel to have, I can help you achieve that.
I've been a professional editor now for four years, and a freelancer on Upwork for two. In this short span of time, I have worked on a diverse range of projects with many wonderful people across the globe, delivering quality work and cent percent client satisfaction every time.

Looking for an expert proofreader/editor with a firm grasp of writing and rational disciplines like science and math? How about a strong streak of artistic creativity as well?
I earned a BA in philosophy and mathematics, so I’ve had enough analytical logic to make Bertrand Russell proud. Then I went on and studied some computer science with a dash of physics, chemistry, and geology thrown in. Finally, after taking all that logic, science, and math, I realized my true love is writing.
That's fate, I guess… Or possibly not.
AI came along and put a serious damper on those pursuits. Now, I’m pivoting into proofreading and editing. It’s a natural shift from writing, I think. I’ve got an excellent sense for the “music of words,” and a natural gift with the written word. I’m great as a second set of eyes on any document, blog post, or other piece.
I’ve self-published four fantasy books, two novellas, and three mini-anthologies (three short stories apiece). Plus, I’ve run blogs on several different personal websites. All of that required a great deal of editing, proofreading, and error-seeking across multiple kinds of writing.
Anyway…
My specific skillset is as follows:
• 15+ years writing, copy editing, and proofreading experience.
• 4 years of content writing and copy writing experience
• 4 years of SEO writing experience
• Knowledge of: Microsoft Office, Google Drive, WordPress, Asana, Slack, and Wrike.
• A B.A. in philosophy and mathematics.
• Familiarity with low-level physics, chemistry, and geology
• 30+ years of fantasy gaming experience (D&D, Warhammer, etc.) as
o player
o gamemaster
o game designer
• 20+ years of worldbuilding experience for fantasy worlds in novels and pen & paper RPG’s
• And close to 2 years of experience using AI Systems like ChatGPT, Jasper, and others.
Oh, and I've also spoken on topics like worldbuilding and the craft of writing. So, if you are looking for an editor/proofreader who can handle both fact and fiction, or either one separately, I’m your guy. (I’m also willing to do non-AI-assisted writing, too – in fact, I prefer it, because I like the craft of writing and I have a number of issues with AI.)

I bring a wealth of information and experience to each project. After more than 20 years working in retail advertising and handling several positions: proofreader, print buyer, media manager, broadcast & web writer, and copy manager, I decided to go freelance about 17 years ago. I relish the challenge of working on different projects for multiple clients and consistently bringing new life to stale ideas.
I enjoy educating the reader, making him/her laugh, or simply making something that could be boring and lifeless into copy that intrigues and is easily understood. With my retail background I am consistently focused on selling whether that means a product, an idea, or a way of life.
One quality that makes me different from many other people is that I am as adept at scrutinizing the details (composing indices for 300+ page catalogs by hand, proofreading/editing, or being responsible for a multi-million dollar budget) as I am at being creative. That means I work equally well whether given tight parameters or let loose to run through the fields of my imagination and have a chat with the voices in my head. I ensure that the customer is happy with the final product and I strive to do the best job possible, be on point, and on time.
