How many writers, in the lonely days of winter, curl up by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate and a grammar handbook to read?
Yep, I'm one of those freaks whose idea of a compliment can be "What a neat way to use an em-dash!" (Can you tell I like writing fiction?)
If you need someone who can write well, with strong grammar skills or with multiple writing styles, I can fit the bill. I'm also told—by people who would slap me if I did it poorly—that I'm excellent at rewriting and editing. I greatly enjoy performing both tasks. Unfortunately, I lack that qualifier called a degree that makes people believe you know what you're talking about.
Yes, I'm that young. I began working as a freelance writer the same year I became old enough to legally do so.
Rest assured that I'm as direct about my abilities as I am my age. If I don't think I can write your project well, or if I don't know, I'll tell you. Period. Maybe you'll fire me; maybe you'll be willing to help me learn. At least we'll have that known up front to prevent disappointment later. Overselling only postpones disappointment. I prefer not wasting my time or yours by using that transparent (and annoying) advertisement technique.
I write web content of 300-1200 words, and I also do site-checking and copyediting. I enjoy web coding, as this site demonstrates. My understanding of web coding languages particularly helps me in site-checking assignments, since I can check links, grammar, and site appearance and often repair the site code as well as the content.
If you'd like to query me about working for you, please send me an e-mail with "Query" in the subject line. I'll respond as soon as possible. (As a sabbatarian, I don't do anything work-related on Sunday, including checking my messages.)
Though I use an Apple computer, I have MS Office 2004 for Mac. Available file extensions for my work include .DOC, .CWK, .RTF, .TXT, and .PDF.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a good day, or sleep well, whichever applies.
