Paul J.
Published writer, experienced copyeditor, and proofreader
Hi! I'm a published author, writer and editor, and outside of UpWork have freelanced for a number of different websites and publications, including Byline, BuzzFeed, and the Huffington Post. I've also contributed articles, blogs, quizzes and opinion pieces for the likes of Quartz, The Guardian, The Independent, the i, and The Telegraph. Through UpWork, I've worked on several longstanding projects, mainly creating and editing puzzles, quizzes, games, and trivia questions. I've worked on more than a 30 different puzzle and trivia books, and compiled thousands of questions and crossword-style clues for a popular word game app. As an experienced editor (with a professional and academic background in English language and literature) I've also helped edit and proofread a number of projects, and am always happy to help in tidying up or copyediting existing work using whatever standard or style guide a client prefers. Thanks!
