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.
Work terms:I accept payment through Guru SafePay Escrow or SafePay Invoicing.

For ongoing communications about projects, it is easiest to reach me through e-mail.
