About

B.S. in Biology + B.A. in Theatre = Well Researched Creativity

I care about and take pride in my work.

I am a published author. Here are some books and short stories published under my name:
Non-fiction short stories - Vicksburg
Fiction short stories - Memory
Non-fiction book - HIV and AIDS - The Essential Guide

Some books I have edited:
Offspring by LaMonte Fowler (on Amazon.com)
Powerfully Fragile by Briohne Sykes (on Amazon.com)
Self-Experiences... by Ken Bruscia (through Barcelona Publishers)

My strength is in my diversity of experiences. I have done a wide variety of things from teaching dance to making desserts to flying an airplane to working in a lab. I have lived and visited a variety of places both in the United States and abroad. I have experienced the heartbreak of broken relationships and the joys of a long-term commitment. Because of my background, I can understand your audience and help them connect with you.

Why isn't my account verified? At this time, Guru requires me to have a business cell phone to go through the verification. I have a business landline. Further, Guru will not let me use professionally taken photos. Instead, I must photograph myself with a thumbs up or peace symbol using a computer or cell phone camera. I am a professional. That is not the image I want to portray. Finally, since Guru has my tax information and has been sending it to the IRS for over a decade, I believe my account should already be verified through that. If they suspect I am not who I say I am, they should report me to the IRS for social security theft.

Work Terms

I use SafePay.
If I discover plagiarized work while editing or proofing, I charge a $25 plagiarism fee and return the work uncompleted. Fixing plagiarism costs three times as much and takes longer.
I provide a rough draft (in most circumstances) for your review before submitting a final copy. I work until you are satisfied; however, I reserve the right to charge extra for excessive (over two) rewrites or re-edits.
I do not work on weekends. Sometimes I check my Guru account, sometimes I do not on the weekends.
I reserve the right to turn down jobs I deem unethical even after accepting an awarded project. If this happens, I will refund any funds deposited in SafePay in full and destroy the work I have done.
I prefer to be contacted through Guru, but I also use phone and e-mail. At this time, I don't have Skype. Why? I work around the clock and in strange places (e.g.track meets, McDonalds, my car). I don't want you to see me in a moo moo and curlers. I am more than happy to call you worldwide.
