About

I am passionate about correct English usage.

I've lived in many locations in the US, and overseas (at first, mainland China, and then later, Taiwan), and I've engaged in many occupations from janitor to professor to actor to deliveryman. I've read omnivorously, and consider myself an opsimath. I have been known to correct typos in library books! When not engaged in work, I enjoy running and solving word puzzles, but not at the same time. People who have worked with me consider me friendly and easy-going, and I value good personal relations as much as I do correct English usage.

Work Terms

I enjoy the flexibility of working at home and being able to set my own hours. PayPal is fine for payment, but of course direct payment by check works for me as well. I'm comfortable working with either scientific or literary texts, and my rates are ~$20/hr.
