| Highlights: | Whether a writing project is highly technical or designed for pure entertainment, my goal is to ensure my clients communicate effectively. I am equally comfortable editing to only correct errors, to polish text, or to identify and fix gaps in logic or other flaws in presentation. I have respect for client guidelines and deadlines, an excellent eye for detail, and a commitment to the highest standards of quality. |
