Concise and grammar perfect prose every time: 5 years as a newswriter and editor. I am easy to work with: I'll write from your ideas or rewrite from your draft. Sharp and enthusiastic researcher. I can help you become a better writer: 7 years teaching writing at a university. I am interested in healthy living: I am a certified yoga instructor. I will not take on a project unless I can turn it over in reasonable time. My own fiction, poetry, journalism has been published. I also have a novel in the works! My specialty is turning out clean, clear prose from the most modest or ambitious of first drafts. I have taught writing for years, so I am someone who is easy to work with, who understands deadlines and who can make you say, "That is exactly what I wanted to say" when you read the final draft.
