Hello, I am a former professional teacher of both Gifted Education and Special Education. I taught both groups reading and language arts. While teaching the Gifted, I had an intensive language arts curriculum that demanded high performance in writing with multiple papers and essays.&nbsp;<br /><br />While teaching Special Education, I had to really hone in on teaching the basic mechanics of writing. I focussed in on grammar, punctuation and overrall clarity of the manuscript.&nbsp;<br /><br />Currently, I am a stay at home mom to a toddler. I would love to have the opportunity to use these skills from the security of my home. I would be doing what I love, while still being able to keep my son at home.&nbsp;<br /><br />I am extremely organized and exceptional at keeping to deadlines. I prefer to work towards a deadline and feel that these characteristics made me the great teacher that I was.&nbsp;<br /><br />I feel that an editor position is very important in many ways. Not only do they have to be detail oriented with their proofreading, grammar and punctuation, but also love language and the beauty of the written word. Finally, I believe an editor should treat each manuscript with dignity, valuing and respecting the work an author has invested into it.&nbsp;<br /><br />Finally, I hope that there is a position within your company for someone who is ambitious, detail oriented, and excited for this new step in her career. Thank you for your consideration.
