While most of my experience has been in academic and scientific editing, I also have experience in the following areas:

• academic editing
• medical/scientific editing
• educational editing for all levels (K-12, college, adult learners)
• fiction editing
• professional/business writing
• technical and scientific writing
• creative writing
• instructional writing
• indexing
• page layout
• graphic design
• logo design
• website design
• web content creation and organization
• web and social media updates
• newsletter creation and distribution
• PowerPoint presentations
• blogging

The breadth of my experience allows me to see projects from a top-level viewpoint in addition to focusing on minute details and imperfections, a skill that past employers and clients have found valuable.

But at the heart of my work is the message — the words. Which is why I selected Words Copyediting as the name of my freelance company. Words have been my passion as long as I can remember. I am always reading at least one book, and have been known to read the backs of food packages while I eat. I watch movies with the subtitles on. I study grammar and linguistics for fun. I am a word geek.

Much as I love the minutiae of writing, though, I believe that there is more to editing than nitpicky rules and customs. I am a dedicated reader advocate; my business is making sure the message you are conveying is understood by the reader.
