I'm an experienced freelance editor with a range of experience and qualifications. I have a BA in English from Boston University, an MFA in creative nonfiction from the University of New Orleans, and an MA in history from the same. While in the MFA program, I served for two years under a mentor as Associate Nonfiction Editor of Bayou Magazine, a nationally distributed literary journal. I also completed six hours of graduate-level coursework in composition theory and served as a teaching assistant and instructor of record for Introduction to Composition. Prior to entering graduate school, I worked as an instructor of advnaced English grammar for second language learners, during which time I studied and mastered the lingustic concepts behind the mechanics of formal written English. I am versed in MLA style, Chicago style, and Strunk &amp; White's Elements of Style. While I am competent at all levels of editing, my particular talent lies in line-level stylistic editing.
