I understand the difference between QC and editing. QC in this setting requires measuring a document against precise specifications and ensuring that it does not fall short in any way.
As a lawyer and law librarian, I am the epitome of the detail-oriented professional. My comprehension and critical thinking skills are unparalleled.
I have had nearly twenty years of experience writing, editing, and proofreading a wide variety of documents in academic, legal, and professional settings. I offer a keen eye, clarity, and consistency. I am a thorough editor and am able to ensure that documents are readable, logical, and error-free. My careers have demanded perfection in written work, and I understand the consequences of inaccuracies. I am a perfectionist with a passion for correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Respecting deadlines is an essential component of my work.
I have taught research skills and written online tutorials about plagiarism and referencing. I am skilled in detecting plagiarism, both intentional and unintentional. I understand the need for careful and precise referencing and am comfortable working with a variety of citation styles.
I am an effective communicator and collaborator, and I recognize that critical review of a colleague’s written work requires considerable tact.
I would be pleased to provide my résumé, as the majority of my work consists of ongoing projects for clients who have hired me outside of this site.
