Dabian Witherspoon – Editor

I enjoy all types of writing and storytelling. My background represents excellence and versatility, and I am highly skilled in writing, developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, and story analysis.

I am a published author, and I hold a Ph.D. in English, which demonstrates perseverance as well as superior analytical, problem-solving, and time management skills. My education also includes a 120-hour TEFL Certificate, an M.A. in African American and African Diaspora Studies (aka Black Studies or Africana Studies), and 32 hours of graduate-level coursework in history.

My level of versatility is unparalleled. I am proficient in fiction, nonfiction, formal writing, and informal writing, and I adapt well to various genres and subjects. I have edited and proofread book manuscripts, dissertations, articles, graduate papers, essays, court transcripts, marketing materials, websites, and screenplays.

As an editor, I am careful to retain my clients' voices while helping them improve their writing and avoid problems that could make them look careless or unprofessional. In terms of grammar, sentence structure, efficiency, and clarity, I am one of the best writers, proofreaders, and editors around.

I have also provided screenplay analysis and coverage for writers, producers, and contests such as the Roadmap Writers Top Tier and Accelerator Contests, the University Film & Video Association Conference Screenplay Competition, and the Baltimore Screenwriters Competition.

My background also includes 12 years of college-level teaching experience, including courses in composition, world literature, African American and African Diaspora literature, introduction to literature, humanities, African American history, African American studies, and film studies.
