I have been in love with the art of storytelling for as long as I can remember. As a writer, myself, I value and respect your creativity, skill,&nbsp;and imagination. As an editor, I am able to delve into the world you have&nbsp;created and organize it for flow, character development, readability, voice, and consistency. It is important to me to ensure&nbsp;your text is error free so that your reader stays enveloped in your story or&nbsp;message&nbsp;without becoming distracted. Whether you are needing proofreading, copy editing, or developmental editing, I have the experience, analysis skills, and perspective to help bring your story to the truest form of what you've envisioned.<br /><br /> I have a B.A. in English: Creative Writing with a concentration in poetry and a minor in Professional Writing. After college, I spent a few years working in special education as I have a&nbsp;heart for that population, through that I acquired a lot of patience and compassion. I can bring that same heart to your story. I recently decided to go back to my English major roots and&nbsp;completed a nine month course at the University of Washington where I obtained my Editing Certificate.&nbsp;I'm trained in using style manuals, particularly Chicago Manual of Style. <br /><br />I look forward to working with you!
