Silicon Text
To Whom It May Concern:
Silicon Text is an on-call agency providing online proofreading and copy-editing services including freelance and contract support for corporate, academic and technical authors.
I have more than fifteen years of professional communications support experience as a copy-editor, web content review specialist, elearning developer and corporate proofreader. My professional background includes employment as a Georgetown University/USAID-sponsored Business English instructor and I have also assisted the Japanese Embassy with official English language document preparation. For more than twelve years, I worked as a documentation specialist in Manhattan law firms, corporate publishing houses and investment banks.
More recently, I directed a computer lab project at the University of Guadalajara Language Center assisting towards the development of bilingual user manuals; I also provided project documentation coordination. I hold a B.A. in English and I recently completed an M.S. in Education ("online teaching and learning" emphasis) with a 3.91 G.P.A. I am fluent in Spanish, and competent with APA, Chicago, AMA and MLA editing styles.
Please be kind enough to contact me should there be any current or anticipated projects that might readily be completed online. All services are guaranteed to be error-free with payment requested only upon satisfactory completion of the work submitted. Rates for proofreading assistance are 1.5 cents per word. Overnight services can generally be arranged. Non-disclosure documentation and encryption are also available. Additional background information, clients and work samples can be viewed at www.silicontext.com.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Scott Zagoria
