Most drafts are 90% there. I close the gap.
The manuscript that opens cleanly on every device, the thesis formatted correctly before the deadline, the sentence that finally flows — none of that happens by accident. It happens because someone went through the work carefully and cared about the details the author was too close to see.
That's what I do.
I'm a writer and editor with a background in manuscript editing, academic proofreading, KDP publishing, and legal transcription. I work with authors, researchers, professionals, and small teams — anyone who has done the hard work of producing something and needs a skilled, reliable person to help them finish it right.
Copyediting & Proofreading
Grammar, punctuation, clarity, consistency, and flow — edited in Track Changes so every decision is visible and reversible. Longer projects include a style sheet on request. You get a marked-up file, a clean final, and notes on patterns worth knowing for next time.
Academic Proofreading & Style Editing
Essays, theses, dissertations, and journal submissions aligned to APA, MLA, Chicago, or AP style. Citations checked, formatting corrected, academic register preserved. Your argument stays yours. I just make sure the presentation doesn't undermine it.
KDP & Print Formatting
Full formatting for EPUB and print PDF: trim size, margins, bleed, gutter, front and back matter, linked TOC, headers, footers, and consistent typography throughout. Every file is tested in Kindle Previewer before delivery. What you upload is what readers see.
Writing — Bios, Blurbs, Queries & Light Ghostwriting
I read what you've already written before producing a single word, so everything sounds like you on your best day. Author bios, back-cover blurbs, query letters, blog posts, articles, and web copy. Light ghostwriting available for longer projects — scope clarified upfront.
Beta Reading
Honest, reader-focused feedback on pacing, structure, character consistency, and whether the manuscript holds attention all the way through. Organized written notes you can act on — not vague encouragement.
Transcription
Legal-grade transcription of interviews, depositions, and witness statements. NFPA-style narrative or verbatim with identified speakers. Accurate, confidential, and ready to use without additional cleanup.
Every project includes:
Track-changed file + clean final copy
Agreed scope and milestones before work begins
Sample edit available before you commit

Have you been looking at your writing for so long the words are starting to swim? Are you starting to question if you've caught every affect/effect or put every comma in place? That's where I come in. I'm here to proofread your final work and help make it look as polished as possible.
I am a certified general proofreader. I can proofread creative writing, blog posts, journal articles, etc. My focus is:
- correcting any grammar or punctuation errors
- finding misplaced words (spell check doesn't catch when you type 'said' instead of 'sad')
- subject/verb and tense agreement
I do all of this while keeping to your format (AP, CMOS, etc.) and your style. I make sure that I'm proofreading within your words, without changing your voice.

I’m a Top-Rated Wiki specialist and editor for Wiki-based encyclopedia platforms with 14 years of experience. I help brands, companies, and organizations create Wiki profiles by first evaluating their news coverage, independent sources, and overall notability to determine whether they qualify.
I offer end-to-end Wiki services, including research, drafting, rewriting, expanding existing content, adding reliable citations, improving article structure, and resolving maintenance issues.
My Specializations:
• Wiki consultation, profile creation, and updates
• Notability assessments and source reviews
• Content research, drafting, and citation improvement
• Article maintenance and monitoring
My Process:
STEP I: Notability Audit & Research:
This phase involves searching for and reviewing independent, reliable sources and assessing overall notability to determine whether your subject qualifies. At the end of this phase, I provide a detailed analysis report to help you make an informed decision about the next steps.
STEP II: Draft Creation for Updates or a New Wiki Page:
Building on the findings from Step I, I write and code a new draft or revise your existing article for your review and feedback.
STEP III: Revisions and Publication:
This phase includes implementing your revisions and publishing the final content, either updating your existing Wiki page or creating a new one.
STEP IV: Active Monitoring:
Once the updates are complete or the page is created, I will monitor it for 3 months and defend it against any vandalism attempts.
I'm straightforward, easy to reach, and I’ll provide an honest assessment of whether your project is achievable.
Not sure whether your project qualifies? Send me your website and any existing media coverage, and I'll provide a clear assessment along with practical recommendations for the best path forward.

For your editing and proofreading, hire a pro with over 25 years of experience
I’ve been a writer and editor for nearly 25 years, working for diverse organizations and individuals. I’ve built my reputation on meticulous attention to detail, technical knowledge, and a commitment to delivering excellent results.
My professional experience began with writing and editing military reports for the US Marine Corps and now extends to developing materials for English as a foreign language (EFL) students, reviewing digital media for companies worldwide, and proofreading STEM manuscripts intended for publication in renowned academic journals.
------
A Career Built on Quality and Precision
I developed my integrity, leadership, and perseverance during my service in the Marines. I maintained a Top Secret/SCI security clearance for seven years, demonstrating my discretion and trustworthiness. During my nine total years of service, I was rapidly promoted, achieving the rank of staff sergeant (E6) ahead of my peers. As an intelligence specialist, I researched databases, fact-checked reporting, and wrote and edited detailed reports intended for high-level organizations, including the Department of Defense. This experience opened my eyes to the need for accuracy, consistency, and clarity—principles I’ve applied to my career ever since.
------
Expertise in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Content Development
After leaving the military, I taught EFL at Japan's largest language school. I then transitioned to the school’s publishing subsidiary, where, as a development editor, I led teams of writers, graphic designers, illustrators, and voice actors in creating textbooks and their ancillary materials. These included teacher guides, student workbooks, flashcards, and listening comprehension products. I used my creative approach, technical expertise, and knowledge of project management approaches to deliver complex products on time and to standards exceeding expectations.
To maintain consistency within and across products, and to help my teams maintain a clear vision, I set up complex schedules with overlapping deadlines, developed and applied standard operating procedures to guide production, and fostered respectful relationships among stakeholders. I incorporated sound project management principles, so the teams I led developed products more quickly and maintained higher accuracy at final proofing than other teams working on similar materials.

Freelance Writing, Editing, and Proofreading: A Commitment to Excellence
In 2006, I began freelancing part-time. In 2014, I transitioned to full-time freelance work, where I continue to apply my skills and experience to a range of projects. I’ve contracted with organizations to write articles and business correspondence, review documents for grammar and style, and rewrite content, as necessary, to achieve a high level of quality while applying in-house and published style guidelines. I focus on detail, apply technical competence, and engage in cordial interactions, for which I’ve been rewarded with several fantastic long-term clients.
I also work with specialist agencies and a professional magazine to proofread materials for publication in prestigious journals. I ensure the manuscripts are grammatical and readable, meet formatting requirements, and maintain accurate citations and reference lists. My work is crucial in helping authors succeed in highly competitive academic fields.
------
Driving Digital Media Success
In 2022, I engaged with an award-winning team with over 1,000,000 YouTube subscribers. I edited their once-weekly newsletter to expand their visibility and reach within the online community. My improvements to quality and efficiency helped the client grow their base by 70%—from 35,000 to almost 60,000 subscribers—over one year. My efforts also enabled the client to increase output to three publications per week, further cementing them as a leader in their niche.
------
A Versatile and Impactful Professional
Throughout my career, I’ve demonstrated my ability to work on projects of all levels of complexity. I assist teams in collaborative settings or work independently to provide clients with end products that help them achieve their goals. With over two decades of experience in writing, editing, and content development, and through my strong technical skills and adept project management techniques, I've become a versatile and impactful professional who delivers results that exceed expectations.
I always seek new opportunities. If you need a pro with vast experience, a strong commitment to excellence, and a long-standing record of success, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect with you to discuss how we can achieve your goals.
