Summary
My expertise features creative writing, proofreading, editing, and counseling skills. I offer quick turn-around, personalized commentary, and preservation of content. As a writer myself, I seek to offer respect and accuracy to both the English language and my clients' personalities, which are essential to creating outstanding content. All of my services are designed specifically to preserve original voice, content, and style of the client.
I offer a professional, but personal and friendly, critique on my client's projects, and can provide as little or as much feedback as desired. I have worked as an editor for over 2 years for an online, non-profit magazine where contact with writers was crucial; I know how to deliver improvements without sacrificing requirements or personality.
Grammar, of course, is essential in any writing project, but personality even more so. I'm here to help you express yourself and improve your projects; just leave the technical stuff to me.

About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 2008
Number of Employees: 1
My "official" freelance works begins this year. My unofficial work, however, has been growing and developing for over the past five.
I may be breaking in to the writing business, but I have much to offer already. My previous experiences include editing & proofreading manuscripts and short stories for friends/acquaintances; studying with the LongRidge writing school of Connecticut; and working for 2.5 years as a proofreader/editor for an online Christian teen magazine.
More than that, I am the newly appointed Executive Editor of said magazine (http://regeneratedmag.com), and have recently put all of my skills to use in restructuring the entire layout, content, and services of the magazine. I know manage, edit, and write for the new Regenerated Magazine on a monthly basis. I know my way around the written word.
I specialize in proofreading and editing content. Grammatical errors don't baffle me, and I offer professional, but personal, editorial services. My goal in any project is to consider the writer's personality and characteristics first, though I take my responsibility to the English language very seriously. Projects in this area can range from a quick glance over a brochure to novel-length manuscripts.
My first specialty, however, is creative writing. I'm a novelist and short story writer, and because of this, I make it my personal goal to preserve and protect my clients' original work, as I would wish for my own. If allowed, I will willingly tear apart a manuscript and rebuild it from the ground up, but I take special care in staying true to the project's specific needs and the client's specific personality and desires.

Payment Terms
Payment is negotiable, and can be based on an hourly rate or flat fee. Paypal or check are acceptable means, though I am flexible in establishing terms of agreement.
Turnaround time is quick, as long as it can be done so without sacrificing quality. Most short projects can be done in under a week, and longer projects vary from a few weeks to about 2 months.
