Proofreader - Copy Editor

I am recently retired from a long career in marketing, in which I generated proposals and edited all of the marketing collateral for the firms at which I was employed. I also have a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Connecticut. To capitalize on my passion for the English language, I have started a business as a professional proofreader and copy editor. No job is too large or too small. I have expertise in a variety of industries, including accounting, medicine, law, technology and media. Will edit any document from articles, eBooks and press releases to term papers, theses and website content. I was also highlighted as a success story case study on the Freelancer community page. Please do not contact me for anything other than proofreading or editing. I am not interested in being a virtual assistant or anything similar. Thanks for understanding.

I can only say Linda that your work has been outstanding and professional in every sense of the word. You have been simply amazing over the entire project from start to finish. I could not have done this without you. You are wonderful to work with and I cannot wait to start this experience all over again with my new book work Victoria Puddle. Now all that remains is for me to say thank you. Thanks a million.. It's a big hug from me.
