I have an exceptional abiity to tighten, clarify and strengthen the writing of others while preserving their style. I am encouraging and positive in recommending structure or wording changes. I have broad experience. I work hard with a service ethic. I meet deadlines. I am flexible. I have a sense of humor. The following is a note sent to me by a writer of user guides for computer graphics software. "It is a load off my mind, Larry, to have a skilled editor. All of your suggested changes are superb. You did a wonderful job of interpreting that somewhat sloppy paragraph I had in there, the one you asked me about. Thank you! I truly enjoy working with you, not only because you are a talented editor, but also because you have a professional approach to consistency and version control." My strength is tightening and brightening written copy while preserving writer style. I work with diligence, speed and a service ethic. I meet deadlines and have a sense of humor.
