Profile

You've just found an eagle-eyed copy editor, proofreader, fact checker, and researcher. I'm meticulous and diligent at establishing and maintaining style, consistency, clarity, and order in all projects. I employ a wealth of resources to track down elusive facts and information. I'm highly skilled at rooting out and eliminating plagiarism in teacher's resources, textbooks, and non-fiction publications for children and adults.

I've worked on a wide variety of genres and subjects, and I'm always willing to venture into new areas.

I've worked extensively in WriteRAP as a Production Editor, a role that encompasses the styling, formatting, copy editing, and proofreading of a publication. I also have extensive experience in Canadianization and Americanization.

In addition to the subjects listed below, I have a keen interest in photography, antiques, deafness, sign language, gardening, wildflowers, birdwatching, weather, severe storms, lightning, clouds, volcanoes, tornadoes, knitting, crocheting, yarn crafts, weight training, rock hounding, stamp collecting, exercise, walking, food and nutrition, food allergies, natural remedies, headaches and migraines, health and wellness, black-and-white films, rock and roll, and '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s fashion, music, and bands.

Please contact me to discuss your project requirements.
