Your writing is a reflection of your image. To make a good impression, it must be free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. I am a professional proofreader, copy editor, and self-proclaimed word nerd who will spot mistakes you may have missed and ensure your content adheres to your style or brand guidelines, so your writing is the best it can be. I have experience proofreading traditional and eBook manuscripts, AI-generated content, podcast transcripts, essays, applications, business plans, marketing materials, blog posts, product packaging, slide decks, PowerPoint presentations, magazine content, and websites.

I've worked full-time as a freelance writer and editor since 2012. In that time, I've supported hundreds of clients across many different industries. Clients typically bring me in to: • Proofread and line edit content before publication • Improve clarity, tone, and flow without changing the original message • Format complex documents in MS Word • Edit long-form content including guides and books • Develop and polish professional resumes and other career documents • Refine AI-generated drafts After more than a decade of full-time freelance work, I understand that clients value reliability, clarity, and results. You can expect responsible communication, dependable turnaround times, and careful attention to detail. My goal is to deliver polished work that exceeds your expectations and makes your job a little easier.

With extensive experience in publishing, I now am focusing on editing and proofreading, particularly where I am able to help the author/writer improve a document to achieve its goal. I have extensive experience, primarily with non-fiction (including technical, theses and dissertations, and how-tos) and books published by McGraw-Hill, Elsevier, Palgrave-Macmillan, and Cambridge University Press. My own published works include a book in the "Dummies" series, a weekly column in The New York Times, a plethora of articles, a reference CD-ROM, training courses for major financial institutions, and technical manuals. I have a Six Sigma Green Belt, Green Belt with DFSS, and Public Relations Society of America accreditation.

My objective is to edit and proofread projects that will enable others to clearly communicate varied subject matter to the public. I offer accurate and enthusiastic proofreading and editing on any fiction or non-fiction project that requires word perfection.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I recently got back on Upwork and I am eager to get new projects started. Please note: I closed some very old projects, so the "most recent" reviews showing are all no feedback. You have to look beyond those to find ones with appropriate reviews. I am very excited to provide my freelance editing on Upwork. I have a wide range of experience with beta reading, editing and proofreading of documents, novels, novellas, resumes, business reports and more. I mainly work with contemporary romance, dark romance, fantasy and mysteries. I have over 5 years of freelance experience. I DO NOT use any type of AI, ChatGPT, CoPilot or software to complete my work. Everything I do comes from my mind and the CMOS guidelines. I am open to all kinds of projects and learning new ways to gain experience in proofreading and line editing. I have a wide range of life experience skills from book reading, biology, building maintenance, traveling, dragon boat racing, knitting, and dog mom. I have incredible work ethic, and I cannot leave a project finished without making it the best possible. My whole life I have loved books! I have a personal library of over 1000 novels and texts. No, I have not read them all, but I love supporting authors I love. One day would like to own my very own bookstore! It is a big dream and that is why I am on Upwork. I want to gain as much experience working with books as I can in any type of way. I would like to eventually edit books as my main source of income and move away from the 9-5 life. I have excellent skills with Word Doc, PowerPoint, and Excel. I am looking for new projects that I can use to build my resume and work experience in the proofreading and editing world.

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I am a full-time English and Creative Writing professor at a private college in Florida, part-time freelance editor, and writer in my free time.

As a professor in my field, I am knowledgeable in both academic/research style writing, as well as creative writing.
