<p>I am a professional polymath with the ability to speedily comprehend and address project requirements and subject matter. I&rsquo;m in my 19<sup>th</sup> year of providing freelance editing and document quality assurance. My multidisciplinary background increases my utility across a wide range of subject matter; I am familiar with the terminology and operations of many fields and industries. I fix errant minutiae, unearth and repair sources of author error, and provide substantive feedback on content and structure. I even play devil&rsquo;s advocate at times, with client consent.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On top of that, I am deadline-sensitive; willing to work early, late, and weekends; and, per my existing clients, a pleasure with whom to work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<br />
<p>Key verticals in which I edit include high technology; energy efficiency; academia; science; pharmaceuticals/healthcare; water, wastewater, irrigation; and consumer products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Representative client types include market research companies; PR and marketing firms; universities; utilities; small manufacturers; and translators.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Typical project activities include editing and proofreading; rewriting and restructuring; syncing voice (if multiple authors); revising ESL authors&rsquo; English; and checking verbiage agreement with chart/table data.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am well-versed in Chicago Manual of Style and APA. I readily pick up and adhere to other style guides, including in-house manuals.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading; I look forward to working with you!</p>
