Experienced writer, editor and proofreader, I am the worker you need. I have extensive experience editing and proofreading both short and 250+ page manuscripts, so I know how to stick with projects and meet deadlines. In addition, I have written several successful grants as well as fiction and nonfiction projects. I have written extensively for private individuals.
As a certified teacher and contract writer, my grammar and mechanics skills are excellent. I thoroughly enjoy editing and helping to improve other writers' works. I have a B.A. in English Language and Literature from North Carolina State University and my teaching certifications in both English and History are from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. I also received my National Board Certification in 2006.
As an editor and proofreader, I have experience working with many different types of writing, both fiction and nonfiction. I have written a creative non-fiction memoir and am working on having it published. There is an excerpt in my portfolio. My writing skills extend to both serious and humorous subjects and I enjoy writing in different genres. Grant writing is also something that I enjoy as the ones I have written have had a significant financial impact on the nonprofit organization with which I worked. Obtaining those grants gave me a significant sense of accomplishment.
My freelance experience consists of 500-600 word article writing, transcription, scholarship searches, essay writing, creative writing and academic writing. I have samples of these in my portfolio, but would be delighted to send them to you through private message, if you would like. In addition, my research skills are top-notch, and I run every assignment through CopyScape before submission. My original writing is guaranteed.
Some of my most valuable skills though are my abilities to stay focused, organized and on time. Being able to work with others in a professional and courteous manner is also something at which I excel. Though most freelance work is online with little face-to-face contact, having customer service skills is always important. I aim to go do excellent work, and to be friendly and respectful throughout the job.
Thank you for reviewing my proposal, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
