David E.
Longtime writer, proofreader, editor and project manager
I've been writing regularly since my first newspaper job in college in 1986, and I've been editing others' writing off-and-on since 1989 -- at my first newspaper job out of college. I've written one unpublished novel and three published books of nonfiction -- two on the rights of children in society, and a brand-new U.S. Constitution. I've written dozens of professional essays for online magazines, including The Savvy Street. I taught writing briefly at the university level (1995) and conducted dozens of private classes at home on "organized thinking" to freelancers from 1993 to 2006. I have a high level of motivation on projects, enjoying the challenges of such undertakings, as well as working with others, when the opportunity arises. I love the writing and editing process immensely.
