Professional Editor-Published Author-Researcher-Editorial Consultant
$31.25/hr
I am detail oriented and thorough. I also work swiftly and effectively.
30+ years as executive editor, copywriter, proofreader, translator and researcher, in literary, business, educational and technical applications.
Since my first love is Editing with an eye to helping writers bring out their unique voice and publish their highest quality work, I remain available in semi-retirement to further those passions.
Masters Degree in language and literary arts, professional musician since early childhood. Excellent communication skills, work ethic and precision.
I have numerous publishing credits including three novels, a series of educational studies, a collection of poetry and short fiction, multiple published magazine articles, short fiction, and poetry, and a book-length (750-page, 13-lesson) religious instructional course.
In addition, I have been a consultant and small business start-up specialist since 1999, helping a number of companies get off the ground in the Midwest marketplace through effective business plans and marketing solutions, along with good, sound business wisdom. Companies include a car rental agency (for whom I wrote the business plan that landed a $250,000 loan, and trained managers whose profits doubled every three months for the first two years), two local coffee shops, a Saugatuck restaurant/night-spot, an Executive Leadership and business development seminar firm (where I later also served as a seminar facilitator/trainer), and an environmental clean-up company (for whom I wrote a $15,000,000 contract with the State of Michigan and hosted a congressional conference in the state Capitol), among others.
