Quality copy editing that turns your lump of coal into a diamond. I have focused my practice on the editing (not writing) of doctoral dissertations and Masters' theses, but will gladly consider other copy editing tasks which require precision and accuracy. Close doesn't count--and I pride myself on making deadlines. More than 30 years as a director of communications for several organizations have honed my editing skills. Member, Chicago News Guild/CWA Local 34071, American Copy Editors Society, Editorial Freelancers Society, and Life Member of the Publicity Club of Chicago. Adjunct Instructor in the Certificate in Nonprofit Management program of the University of Illinois at Chicago since 2003. Let's work together!
