Summary

I am an English major who loves to write, and I can help proofread, edit or even rewrite anything you might have. You can see samples of my own writing at my blog: http://mommarants.typepad.com/. I have the time to work on any project as I am at home full-time. I have produced newsletters and promotional materials for fundraising events, and I'm comfortable with most computer programs. If there is a specialized program needed for a project, I am confident that I can learn its finer points very quickly.

About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
I am a team of one, plus you. I love to write and I can't stand for things to be poorly written. I will always give my best, and I don't tolerate laziness or lateness. If I have a deadline, you can expect a finished product by that time.

Detailed Service Description

I will assist with proofreading and editing of material that is completed but needs an extra set of eyes. I will assist with the writing of a book or article for which you have the bare bones but need help fleshing out. I will assist in the production of a project through research or writing or editing, whatever you find you are lacking. I have not had a job in which I spent all of my time writing or creating, but I am now in a position to pursue such projects. Writing is what I love and what I am comfortable doing. You may see my blog to assess my writing ability: http://mommarants.typepad.com/momma-rants/.
