Thank you for viewing my biography. I am a writer, editor, and reader/reviewer with more than 25 years of experience. I am a native English (USA) speaker but can localize from US-to-UK or vice versa. The majority of my writing work is in ghostwriting, memoirs, government/military, journalism, speeches, and short stories (fiction). My editing and proofing experience is in journalism, advertising copy, marketing/public relations campaigns, grants, military/government, academia, young adult fiction, communication plans, rsums, and international interests. I am particularly adept at writing and editing material which uses Southern American English (i.e., the Southern drawl from the Deep South of the United States) and Appalachian Hollar English. I have used this skill as a consultant with the motion picture industry.
