Susan S.
Editor, Proofreader, Writing Tutor, Chronologist
PROFESSIONAL SKILLS, ABILITIES, TALENTS * I am a retired lawyer and college professor. When I practiced law, I wrote and proofread formal letters, memoranda, contracts, handbooks, policies, and briefs. Precision and accuracy were imperative for all my work product. * As a college professor, I proofread and provided feedback on hundreds of student research papers and other expository writing. In addition, I created an online service for students to submit research papers and dissertations for feedback on all aspects of their writing, from the mechanics of it, to the art of it. My feedback was constructive, detailed, and actionable. I helped writers with their spelling, punctuation, and grammar. I worked with writers to improve or enhance their word choice, clarity, sentence and paragraph structure, pacing, voice, consistency, and paper organization. I also examined and corrected each paper's format and adherence to relevant style guides (e.g., MLA, APA, CMOS, and Bluebook). * I am a meticulous, thorough, detail-oriented, keen-eyed proofreader. * I expertly create detailed chronologies based on my review of the documents. The documents can be of any type (e.g., letters, memos, invoices, photos, texts, emails, records, reports, medical records, transcripts), and the documents may number from just a few, to hundreds, to even thousands. These chronologies or timelines are invaluable to organize seemingly random occurrences or documents, highlight key facts, identify parties, or reveal causal connections. My chronologies can help to tell stories, assist in genealogical studies, establish relationships, or otherwise give perspective.
