I am proficient at proofreading and copy editing. While proofreading, I look for writing errors including grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, formatting, capitalization, and typesetting. While copy editing, I make sure the document reads clearly and has a natural flow.
I am a native English speaker, and I have strong language and communication skills. I am located in the Eastern time zone, but I am available at whatever time works best for the client. AP, Harvard, APA, MLA, and Chicago style guides are most familiar to me, however I will cater to any custom styles needed by the client. I specialize in academic, business, and creative writing.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, a Bachelor of Arts in Theology, and over 20 years of experience as a non-fiction and fiction editor and proofreader. My experience ranges from novels and non-fiction books to academic papers and manuscripts.
I’m also a published author, so I see the editing process through both the eyes of an editor and an author, and I want nothing more than to provide you with a top quality manuscript while still maintaining your “voice”. I know what it’s like to put a lot of time and effort into writing and want it to be mistake-free, but maybe you’re too close to the work to catch everything. That’s why I’m here. You’ve done the work, and now it’s my job to polish it up.
Drop me a note and let’s get your manuscript on its way toward the best outcome possible!

Through my extensive experience in the field of education, I have developed excellent skills in E-learning, curricula design, document formatting, research tasks, academic content review, use of educational technology, LMS platforms, and the design or audit of virtual courses and educational projects.
EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND TO YOUR SERVICE
I am an industrial and electronic engineer, philosopher and theologian, with a postgraduate degree in higher education and a master's degree in strategic administration of information technologies.

I worked for a long time as a proofreader, pre-press specialist, editor and author for a leading Spaniard publishing corporation in Latin America. I have been an outstanding university professor for 20 years in various careers and universities. I have also successfully served as private consultant in QA, E-learning, Professional Ethics and Ortotypographical Correction.
I know all the linguistic and cultural variants of Latin America, Spain and the hispanic population in the U.S. & Canada, so I am a specialist in working in neutral Spanish and avoiding any kind of regionalisms, if you are looking to reach the maximum possible Spanish-speaking audience. And, conversely, I can do localization and enhance my work with SEO strategies.

-----
The best writing is transparent; it does not draw attention to itself but instead helps the reader engage with the ideas and encourages them to continue reading.
Besides editing, I am also a professional musician. My musical training and experience help me to understand the importance of rhythm to both music and written language. Musical lines use flow and rhythm to engage the listener and pull them along to the end. Sentences and paragraphs work the same way; the rhythm and flow lead the reader through the sentence, slowing on important points and moving forward to the next phrase.
I have extensive experience as an educator, scholar, and academic administrator and have written a book, scholarly papers, grant proposals, curriculum design, instructional materials, and technical guides. I have served as a manuscript reviewer for several publishers, including Prentice Hall and Oxford University Press.
I have been teaching writing at the university level for 21 years. I have also guided many students through research papers, theses, and graduate school applications. My students have been accepted into graduate programs at Harvard, UCLA, University of Chicago, Columbia, University of Michigan, and others.
Continuing and long-term clients include:
• SRI International (Stanford Research Institute)
• Valiantys
• AvidThink
• James Lange, best-selling author and financial advisor
• tech firms, management and technology consultants, professors, Ph.D. students, op-ed authors, websites, non-profit organizations, etc.
