Overview
I'm an experienced editor, proofreader, and writer, with several books and many magazine articles to my credit. I have written and edited content about computer technology, boats and boat-building, computerized testing, RV and travel, and much more.
I love to write, but I get almost as much enjoyment out of editing, whether it's an article, a dissertation, or an entire book. There's something gratifying about taking copy that's already good and making it great.
