  I am a full-time professional editor, writer, indexer, and researcher. My bachelors degree and PhD are in English and I have extensive work experience in higher education, nonprofit development, and arts and culture. I am the author of several published works, including the EFA booklet *Get Those Grants!* The majority of my freelance work is full-service editing and project-based writing. While I can handle almost any nontechnical material, my specialties include academic press books and journal articles in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. I'm as versatile a writer as I am an editor and can craft every imaginable type of text to client specifications, from product descriptions and employee profiles to book chapters and websites. I was a professional grant researcher and writer for many years and continue to create successful proposals for nonprofit organizations. In addition, I index typeset books, rewrite existing English translations, assist authors with agent and publisher proposals, rework material for new readerships, compile bibliographies in desired styles, provide gentle but thorough critiques of creative works, conduct and/or transcribe subject interviews, and do library, archival, database, and grant prospect research to order. I am available by the project or may be retained by the day, week, or month. For further details, see my résumé and website and the profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/kharper4.
