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.

I am an experienced published author of 11 books, mainly biographical and autobiographical, now working with two publishers as a proofreader and editor on a part-time basis. As a Business Analyst in my professional career, I am very organised, competent and can communicate with people at all levels, all attributes which help me as an author, editor, researcher and proofreader. Also, I would like to point out that I have actually inspired seven people to write books. I am open to all types of publication, not just biographical and different genre to edit, proofread or to write. Looking for opportunities to enhance my profile. Regular communication is important to me, so let’s keep in touch.

I am an eagle-eyed developmental, line, and copy editor in the United States and the owner of Kindred Pen Editorial Services. I can help you polish your text so it is free of errors and your message is clear and organized. I have fifteen years of experience working for nonprofit wildlife conservation organizations, and writing and editing have been major components of all my jobs. I also have a certificate in editing from the University of California Berkeley Extension program. Throughout the course of my career, I have edited or written a variety of communication materials, including reports, fact sheets, press releases, static web content, blogs, letters to lawmakers, congressional testimony, nonfiction books, and children's phonics books. In addition to wildlife conservation, my editorial interests include environmental health, eldercare, Alzheimer's disease, public policy, travel, and food.

I've been writing regularly since my first newspaper job in college in 1986, and I've been editing others' writing off-and-on since 1989 -- at my first newspaper job out of college. I've written one unpublished novel and three published books of nonfiction -- two on the rights of children in society, and a brand-new U.S. Constitution. I've written dozens of professional essays for online magazines, including The Savvy Street. I taught writing briefly at the university level (1995) and conducted dozens of private classes at home on "organized thinking" to freelancers from 1993 to 2006. I have a high level of motivation on projects, enjoying the challenges of such undertakings, as well as working with others, when the opportunity arises. I love the writing and editing process immensely.

I am a retired professional. My first career focused on all things accounting--from day one of the close procedure to reviewing and analyzing financial statements for both public and private companies. I excelled in this area due to my attention to detail and focus on accuracy. Tapping into my penchant for detail and correctness, I kick-started my second career by pursuing Certificates of Course Completion for 1) Proofreading and Copyediting 101 and 2) Book Editor. During my tenure at Upwork, I've worked on cozy mysteries, clean romance, devotionals, financial commentaries, and a non-fiction book about AI/ChatGPT. As you can see, I have a wide range of experience. I look forward to providing you with a robust and comprehensive work product. Thank you for looking at my profile.

As an editor, my passion lies in enriching those in the writing community while displaying an open and progressive attitude. Developmental editing is my forte, as I love to dive deep into a client’s manuscript in order to help it become the best it can be. I have experience in all genres and especially enjoy working with memoirs, poetry, and creative non-fiction. Integrity is one of my core values, and I believe communication is key. I will always honestly express to a client what’s working, and what’s not working within their writing. I have a BA in English, and have been editing since 2014. During those years I’ve worked on dozens of manuscripts with people all over the world. I self-published my own poetry collection in 2017. In 2025, my second poetry collection, "I Am, You Are, Part of it All" was published through Pennington Press of Hydra Publications.
