Summary

With many years of copy-writing for newspapers and journals under my belt, I have gained a great deal of experience in editing and proofreading. The quality of my work speaks for itself, as I pay great attention to detail.

To me, perfect grammar, punctuation, and spelling are essential, but I also work hard to maintain the author's original style and voice. In the end, I will provide you with a document that is readable, flowing and interesting to the reader.

I do not outsource any projects.

About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
Daniel Gillis has a degree in Civil Engineering, with a minor in Psychology. While serving with the Canadian military, Daniel wrote business proposals and technical training manuals, and designed a document repository system for use on board naval ships.

In his work with a high-tech fibre-optics company, Daniel produced marketing materials and developed course material, which he also delivered in several international technical seminars.

As a free-lance writer, Daniel has written numerous articles for publication in various newspapers and journals, both technical writing and general interest. He has also published a number of poems and short stories, and is currently working on his first full-length book, a work of fiction.

Payment Terms

I would appreciate a 50% down-payment on most jobs, though this is negotiable.

My turnaround time will depend on the scope of the project, but you can depend on me to meet or exceed your expectations in terms of speed of delivery, as well as the quality of my product.
