About

I work hard and fast. I meet all deadlines. I enjoy editing and find it cathartic, relaxing. Finding errors in published materials is akin to someone scratching a black board in my presence. I see no reason for the simple errors I find, besides laziness and the inability to find a proper editor. I am that proper editor and can save you from the embarrassment of improper grammar, spelling, or punctuation in your documents or on your website. I follow style guides well, and can create my own. I believe in a continuous dialogue between the editor (me) and the employer (you) to ensure that all questions are asked and answered in a timely manner. I can edit html, xhtml and css code with nothing more than notepad. When I'm bored, I'll create a webpage just for fun, or I'll play with Photoshop and create a brochure or a photo manipulation. I love to crochet.
