As an English professor, proofreader, and editor, I specialize in making other people’s writing look better, and I can do the same for you, whether you are looking for help with creative, academic, or technical documents. I have spent thousands of hours poring over documents and analyzing them for errors. And as I writer myself, I apply the same editing principles to my own work. I understand the pressures of having to produce a professional, mistake-free document in a quick time-frame because I do it myself all the time. I’m detail-oriented, fast, and efficient. I read and write all the time, so mistakes leap off of the page at me. You’d be surprised at how many errors creep their way into books published by university presses. And you’d be horrified at the level of grammar in intra-departmental emails—even in the English department! You know that guy who always revises his emails twice before sending them out? That’s me. And you can benefit from having that guy edit your documents. I have been awarded for my writing, and my students have too. Just this semester, one of my students won the departmental award for best freshman writing in the English department! My papers have been published in academic journals and have also won departmental awards for great writing. I love the language in all its power and beauty, and I love its power to do good work in the world, and it can best accomplish that it has been looked after by someone who knows how to make it look its best.
