If we were meeting in your office or mine, you would likely have questions for me. Below are what some of those questions might be:

Whom do you edit or write for?

In the last five years, I have been working as an editor for many private individuals who have books as well as shorter pieces like essays and special reports. Past B2B clients have been in maritime services and industrial products. My present focus is on editing content pieces and fiction projects.

What are your qualifications and what kind of experience do you have?

As a freelance writer, I’ve written for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Initially my copywriting expertise was gained as writer/editor for a Seattle public relations and advertising firm. Even after I became vice president of the firm, I retained my focus on the writing and editing services. When that firm opted to close its doors, I moved into a contractual relationship with the lead client, Crowley Maritime Corporation, to continue to handle its needs for company magazines, newsletters, annual reports, press releases, advertising, project reports, brochures, speeches, and even the company history book. I am experienced in writing, editing, and proofreading, and have worked closely with graphic designers.

Do you have up-to-date training in meeting the copyediting needs of businesses today?

My editing and writing skills are kept current through engagement with American Writers & Artists Institute, the industry leader in such training. I am an AWAI Circle of Success member.

Do you have samples you could show me?

Yes. Samples of my work are available upon request.
