Work experience

Self-employed

Jan, 1994 — Present

I'm an editor, writer, and proofreader with more than thirty years of experience. I've worked at high tech firms, universities, and ad agencies and have freelanced since 1994. I specialize in quick-turnaround, deadline-crunching proofreading and copy editing projects, but also provide longer-term developmental editing and book proposal writing.

My most recent proofreading project "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar. Published by McGraw-Hill in October 2017, the book is now the #1 bestseller in two of its Amazon categories and #2 in another.

Current projects not reflected in my portfolio include copyediting and proofreading a memoir (expected publication November 2017), copyediting and proofreading a short medical handbook (expected publication December 2017), and copyediting and proofreading a cookbook (expected publication February 2018), and proofreading two novels (expected publication Spring 2018 and Fall 2018).
