Professional experience editing for a print hi-fi audio magazine and for a book publisher, both broad and specialized scientific backgrounds, and work in the elementary educational system have given me the background and experience necessary to help polish the roughest and most specialized projects.
NOTE: these rates are not set in stone and are only an average for this editor. The actual rate applicable to your document will depend on the depth of the edit, the quality of the writing, the topic matter, the proximity of the deadline, the length of the document and several other factors.
During my last semester of undergraduate study, I was hired as copyeditor for Listener, a bimonthly, internationally distributed audio magazine focused on high-end audio equipment and electronics, as well as album reviews. After receiving my B.A. in geology with an emphasis on math and physics, I accepted the position of Managing Editor for Listener. I was responsible for editing and proofreading all articles and layouts before publishing, as well as transcribing and formatting interviews.
After two years, I left the magazine to pursue my M.A. in geophysics, which I am currently completing. As my graduate study funding, I was picked from a large pool of students to participate in a National Science Foundation grant called the Graduate K-12 Teaching Fellowship. During my two years as a Fellow, I was responsible for evaluating the elementary science curriculum and textbooks for the district, as well as writing teaching plans for use in the area’s schools. I also spent eight hours each week in the classroom, helping teachers to convey scientific principles to their students.
I am currently a freelance proofreader and editor for a publishing company, where I work on both fiction and non-fiction book manuscripts.
