Dear Editor World:<br /><br />I have edited every sort of nonfiction document (books and journals, essays, research reports) imaginable in my career of more than 30 years as a copy editor while also specializing in medical and scieentific subject matter. Most recently I've been editing ESL medical papers translated from the Chinese (samples available on request. From 1993 onward I ran my own editing service (www. meditrix.net), from which I have now retired. However, editing is "what I do," and I intend to continue working. I would be happy to send you my resume and to undertake a sample assignment.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Heidi Thaens<br />Copy Editor
