Light Touch Editing
I am a former corporate attorney whose clients and colleagues always appreciated my excellent writing and editing skills, good judgment, and sense of humor. I have a strong legal and science background, and I excel at organization, clarity, and attention to detail. I love freelance writing and editing in any nonfiction area. Upon leaving law practice, I completed the University of Washington Professional & Continuing Education certificate in editing and am building a freelance business. Can’t find the right words? I can help you.
I’ve edited books, resumes, and personal statements, as well as all kinds of documents: briefs, testimony, legislation, administrative rules, policies, and all kinds of business communications. I’ve worked with experts in economics, finance, engineering, science, regulation, and business. Working as a lawyer brings a great attention to detail, organization, clear writing, and the ability to structure information in a logical way. I can familiarize myself quickly and easily with new disciplines and bring the benefit of an outsider’s view to your subject matter. I am comfortable with corporate communication, academic, nonfiction, websites, and more. I love writing and editing! I’m easy to work with and have a light touch (hence the name)!
