I'm motivated and zealous about meeting deadlines. I make sure to learn from my experience, especially my mistakes; stagnation is anathema to me. I communicate clearly and concisely. <br /><br />Since my background is in executive management and sales, I am most familiar editing all things business: reports, memos, email, promotional materials, receipts, etc. I gained experience editing the admissions essays and academic works of my peers. I also have some informal experience editing two novels for a friend who self-published. I know MLA and APA style guidelines very well, and I am familiar with (and actively studying) the Chicago Manual of Style.
