If it involves words in any form, I can do it! I have tons of experience in:
- Content editing, writing, and rewriting — fiction and nonfiction books, websites of all kinds, higher ed, business and trade publications, science/engineering journal articles, nonprofits… you name it, I’ve probably done it.
- Copy editing/proofreading
- Website management (especially WordPress and Wix)
- Print design (books, brochures, etc.)
- Blogging
I’m also a whiz at InDesign, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Powerpoint and Photoshop.
As a writer, I like to take complex ideas on almost any topic and explain them in clear and compelling prose that makes the reader say, “Oh, now I get it. Cool!” As an editor, I’ll happily tackle text that’s too long, vague, or just plain boring, and I also have a “black belt” in copy editing (APA, AP, CMOS, etc.). Basically I like variety and challenge, and producing finished work that’s clear and interesting with professional-looking typography and design.
References from other EFA clients are available on request. If desired, I can do some “tryout” work for free so you can make sure we’re on the same page. Please see my Watusi Words website for my portfolio.
