Editing

I have ten years of experience as a professional writer and editor.  Depending on the scope of the project, I can edit, proofread, copy edit, or index. I will work closely with the client to tailor the product to suit the target audience. My editorial experience includes a variety of media, including books, workbooks, assessment products, magazines, and informational signs.   

Writing

My expertise includes writing narrative text, features, biographies, original stories, critical thinking questions, instructions, educator activities, interpretive exhibit text, and assessments. I can also perform correlations to state standards for new or existing products.  Topics include social studies, U.S. and world history, political science, world geography, language arts, life science, Earth science, and natural resources. 

Research

I can quickly perform research from library and online sources as part of content creation, editing, or factchecking.

Project Management

Project management services are available, including identifying client needs, maintaining communication with third-party vendors, creating and tracking project budgets and schedules, supervising other writers, and coordinating project staff.
