I have a Bachelor of Arts in English (Creative Writing), cum laude. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Publishing degree in graduate school with The George Washington University while working full time in marketing, where I develop, edit, and implement all of our marketing materials - press releases, brochures, case studies, etc. &nbsp;I have worked for magazines and newspapers as a writer and editor and proofreader for many years. I also worked as a writing tutor at my undergraduate university's Writing Center for two years. I have always been the go-to editor for my peers' writing and am known for my sharp eye, meticulous editing, and for being a "grammar Nazi." &nbsp;I am used to tight deadlines and working efficiently. I have edited a wide range of writing types and for a wide range of audiences. I have worked on&nbsp;academic papers, fiction and nonfiction manunscripts, poetry, essays, magazine and newspaper articles, and the occasional business correspondence. I've also had experience working with writers for whom English is not their primary language. I also currently work as a volunteer for an organziation called Friend of Literacy where I help adult learners improve their English reading, writing, and oral communication skills. As a student of literature, I've studied poetry and prose in depth. I'm eager to apply my critical understanding of literature to new works and gain experience editing new genres and styles.
