Retired newspaper editor and journalism professor, now a freelance editor of every type of manuscript in any format: Word, pdf, etc. I am a writer's editor who works to make each document the best it can be, whether it is two paragraphs or 200 pages; to not rewrite but improve; to hone but not over-edit the writer's words. I'm a careful, thoughtful, nitpicking editor, speedy without being hasty, computer literate, familiar with all editing styles -- CMS, APA, MLA, you name it --and I never miss a deadline.
