  Odyssey Editing (www.odyssey-editing.com) offers professional copyediting for businesses, university presses, translation companies, international organizations, nonfiction book publishers, and individuals; my specialty is copyediting materials that have an international focus or background, including ESL materials. I have copyedited in the corporate, tech start-up, nonprofit, academic, international development, and scientific journal arenas during the last thirty-plus years. I have an excellent knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style and APA Style and have used numerous other styles and in-house style guides. I have an eclectic international background and a passion for detailed observationIve studied eight languages, lived in five countries, and traveled to twenty-six countries. I will enhance your message by ensuring that your communications are in excellent form through clarity, conciseness, correctness, and consistency. If you are writing in your second or third language, your business is involved internationally or has nonnative English speakers, or you publish translated materials, I want to help polish your words and allow you to communicate with excellence. I hold a master's degree in French Language and Literature and a bachelor's degree in Political Science and French.
