Editor and Proofreader in a wide variety of genres

The best part of editing and proofreading for me? I think it's fun! Proofreading and editing were adjunct to all of my jobs in the business world for thirty years. And now, over the past ten years, I've had the opportunity to freelance proofread and edit projects as varied as business books to cookbooks to crime novels to studies in other forms of consciousness. I've been working with a lot of first-time authors and find that very rewarding as well. As an author myself, I know the kind of dedication, creativity and doubts that we all have had to deal with in order to bring our works of art to fruition. But then there's the reticence to share it with a third-party professional, a whole new set of eyes, whom you hope and pray will assist you in framing and tweaking and polishing your art into something the whole world will appreciate. My goal is to do just that for you and still keep your voice, your magic, and your goals intact. I recently moved to Nashville to teach young singer/songwriters how to be entertainers. I've written two books on the subject. I have self-published both books utilizing Amazon's Kindle format and print-on-demand. I've just updated the 38th version of my current book; I am forever editing and updating it, making it better. I work out of my home in Nashville and I can be reached anytime between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. Central Time, seven days a week, which allows me to adjust to the schedules of my clients in all US time zones. Reading, while spiffing up other people's writings as well as my own, are my passions. Fun fact: I was my elementary school's spelling bee champion two years running!
