I have successfully completed a variety of freelance commissioned and volunteer grant consulting and grant-writing projects (with wins) for NGOs, universities, K-12 schools, and other organizations, including the University of Notre Dame, Liberty in North Korea, etc. I am also a freelance editor, currently contracted with Reedsy and The Catholic University of America Press. I've copy-edited roughly 17 million words over the past two decades (including 70+ academic monographs) and have done a very wide range of editing-related work, including indexing for various university presses as well as non-academic editing.
