I can edit for clarity in language without changing the author's writing style. Most of my experience has been in journalism, as I work full-time as a copy editor for a daily newspaper, but I was an English minor in college and I took several writing workshop classes in which I learned first-hand how to edit creative works as well, both poetry and prose. I am nearly fluent in French, meaning I can read and write, and I am learning to speak it as well.
