Having earned a B.A. in professional communication (specialization in writing), I have worked as a freelance writer and editor between (and sometimes during) a variety of academic positions.

One year ago, I left my full-time position as an editor with the Department of Curriculum Design and Development, Grand Canyon University, to focus on writing and freelance editing. I continue to work for Grand Canyon on a freelance basis.

For more than a year, I have been under contract with Scribendi, another online editing service. The arrangement works well for me, and I intend to continue as an editor for that company; however, I would like to expand my pool of opportunities. I am approved to edit all types of documents for Scribendi, both fiction and nonfiction.

Since Scribendi also offers 24- and 48-hour turnaround times, I am used to working with same-day deadlines.  

I was one of three finalists in the Poisoned Pen Press Discover Mystery 2013 Contest (open to authors in the United States and Canada).

After reviewing the Editor World website, I believe that I would be an excellent addition to your freelance pool.
