I can provide typing services as well as proofreading and editing written text. I worked for almost 40 years in the newspaper business where I was a writer and editor. I did both proofteading and copyediting, as well as designing full pages with my text and photos after computerization of the office. My experience includes writing feature stories as well as some short news stories. I am comfortable reading all types of material and can offer ways to make text either shorter or longer. In proofreading, I can spot spelling and many gramatical errors.
