Proofreader, copy editor, developmental editor and freelance writer since 2000; More than 20 years experience in proofreading, copy editing and other visual detail work. Special Note to Possible Employers: I am not looking for a complicated job with a lot of moving parts where I answer to 12 different departments. I am a proofreader, copy editor, writer and developmental editor of novels and have done this work for two decades. I am not a manager or a coordinator or front desk person or customer service person (been there, done that, and have the burn out to prove it).
