Overview
The authors I've worked with know me to be thorough, clear, and professional. I also provide positive feedback along with a more critical assessment of the overall quality of a piece. I have a good eye for determining if a written piece makes sense for the intended audience and helping an author structure their work so that it is not only organized but also compelling.
