Here I am, a native English speaker wholly educated in the UK where I concluded my formal education by reading Middle (Medieval) English at university. You have identified certain skills you require. My first job was as editor in chief at UK based Thomson Publications.. There my primary responsibility was to oversee all submitted editorials prior to publication.. This included checking for relevance, clarity, grammar, syntax, spelling and any other errors which may have hindered proper understanding. Thereafter I wrote - and still write - extensively.. I have written news reports, features for magazines, short stories, a full length novel and plays for both TV & the theatre. I then set up my own publishing company for the publication of specialist journals. I saw it as my responsibility to once again oversee all editing and proofreading of every article of every journal prior to publication. As far as female literature is concerned I have written one full length erotic novel with a young woman as the main character. I have a short story called OVER MY DEAD BODY which you may read too to demonstrate my familiarity with the genre. I read fast and accurately and swiftly pick up mistakes. I am well able to unravel convoluted phrases and rewrite with clarity and concision. So with me you will get a strong creative talent plus a very experienced proof reader and editor. I just ask for an opportunity to show you my abilities.
