Content Management, Fact-Checking, Copy Editing & Research Writing

I help businesses, publishers, websites, and researchers produce accurate, polished, well-organized content through content management, fact-checking, editing, proofreading, SEO, and research writing. With experience in digital content management at ACERO Digital and editorial research and content work with Ecohubmap, I understand both sides of publishing: creating and refining content and ensuring it is accurate, optimized, properly formatted, and ready for publication. **CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS) & WEBSITE PUBLISHING** I can help manage your website content from draft to publication, including: - WordPress content management and publishing - CMS content entry, formatting, and updates - Blog and article uploads - Website content editing and maintenance - SEO content optimization and on-page SEO - Heading structure, meta titles, and meta descriptions - Internal linking and content organization - Image sourcing, selection, placement, and optimization - Featured images, captions, alt text, and image attribution - Content scheduling, quality checks, and editorial workflows **FACT-CHECKING, EDITING & PROOFREADING** I help publishers and businesses maintain editorial accuracy and consistency through: - Fact-checking and source verification - Citation and reference checking - Copy editing and line editing - Proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clarity - Research validation and claim verification - Content review and editorial quality assurance - Style guide and brand voice consistency - AI-generated content review and human editing **ACADEMIC EDITING & RESEARCH WRITING** I also support students, researchers, and professionals who need clear, well-structured academic and research documents. My services include academic proofreading, thesis and dissertation editing, literature review editing, research paper editing, citation formatting, reference list verification, and academic writing support. I am familiar with APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and Turabian referencing styles. I focus on clarity, structure, consistency, accurate citations, and appropriate academic tone while preserving the author's intended meaning. **CONTENT WRITING & SEO COPYWRITING** I write and refine blog posts, website copy, articles, newsletters, product descriptions, informational content, and research-based pieces. My subject experience includes sustainability, ESG, food systems, nutrition, healthcare-related content, business, and general editorial publishing. I can work with existing drafts or develop content from a brief, research notes, and credible sources. I prioritize factual accuracy, readability, audience relevance, search intent, and natural writing. **TOOLS & WORKFLOW** My workflow can incorporate WordPress, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Google Sheets, Grammarly, Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and AI-assisted research or editing tools where the client permits them. I also follow client-specific instructions, style guides, and editorial standards. Whether you need a reliable content manager to upload and optimize articles, a fact-checker to verify claims, an editor to polish your copy, or an academic proofreader to review research documents, I can help you deliver content that is accurate, professional, and publication-ready. Send me your brief, existing content, or website requirements, and I will help you identify the work needed and deliver it to your specifications.
