Summary

I have a master's degree in English, and more than 25 years' experience copy editing, proofreading and writing for book publishers, primarily in academic and educational fields. I know the difference between "that" and "which," and between "uninterested" and "disinterested." Fast, accurate, and insightful work--I will help you say what you want to say. Comfortable with Chicago, MLA, APA and AP styles, and as rigid as you want me to be on matters of grammar, spelling and mechanics.
