I have an extensive background in editing and have composed correspondence for a university president. I have been writing poety for over 35 years and have written a journal for most of my life. I worked as a research editor/travel guide writer at a map company and I am presently working as an editor for the federal government. I am an editor by profession and have been proofreading and editing for over 20 years. In addition to editing, I enjoy writing. Writing has been part of my professional career as well. I am presently taking a class in indexing, which will add another aspect of work involving words to my resume. Words are my passion!
