Ely, Mn

Independent Contractor: Copy Editor, Proofreader, Content Editor, Writer. Fanatical about good writing, but gentle with the writer.I find joy where two of my passions -- good writing, and Christian faith -- intersect, and in helping an author or business-person's writing truly shine!

Minneapolis, Mn

I have served as proofreader or copyeditor on 32 books to date (August 2018): fiction and nonfiction; middle-grade, high/low, and YA target audiences.

Canton, Oh

I have contributed to multiple publications for this nondenominational church-resources publisher and currently serve as Editor for Children's Worship Bulletins, and as copyeditor and writer for The Newsletter Newsletter. In the past I served as proofreader for Homiletics preaching journal; as proofreader and occasional writer for The Wired Word, for which I now substitute-proofread and -edit as needed; and contributed my church- and Bible-related expertise to CRI's Church Art Library (graphics for various uses by churches).

St. Paul, Mn

I managed the production and publication of "God Pause" daily devotions available by email subscription as a ministry of the alumni of Luther Seminary. My work included scheduling writers, overseeing the editing process, drawing upon my knowledge of Lutheran theology and church resources, uploading copy for publication on the web and distribution via email, and communicating with writers, subscribers, and colleagues to ensure that the entire process ran smoothly.

Washington, D.C.

I copyedited business writing for IGS on a regular basis, including business proposals, web copy, correspondence, PowerPoint presentations, white papers, and more.

I supported the Publisher/Editor administratively in producing and sharing this LGBT-focused web-zine. I copyedited 90% of the content and wrote articles on occasion. Sadly, the website is no longer in operation.

Served small, medium, and large congregations; mid-size city, small town/rural, and a college campus congregation. Learned interpersonal-relationship skills in order to effectively work with a wide variety of personalities. Frequently put my excellent writing skills to use in preparing sermons, newsletters, lesson plans, and correspondence. Had to be a self-starter. Often worked "behind the scenes" for little public acknowledgment, which is, for me, a comfortable position.

Sold candles and gifts at house parties and via catalog parties; shared knowledge of the company's merchandise and of candles in general; spoke/presented in front of small audiences.
