Joanne Elayne Gerber
freelance editor, copy editor, and proofreader
I am a seasoned editor, copy editor, proofreader, writer, and fact checker. During my multifaceted career, I have worked on a wide range of materials – from briefs to books. And I have dealt with a variety of topics, most notably:
- INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT — for 14 years, editing and copy editing publications on economic and social development in East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Central Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.
- HIGH-TECH — for 9 years, copy editing articles on high-tech or tech-enabled startups.
- LUXURY LIFESTYLE AND TRAVEL — for 12 years, mainly copy editing, proofreading, and fact-checking articles and books for such outlets as Departures Magazine and Assouline.
I am also proficient in French and have a strong reading knowledge of Spanish, both of which I’ve used in my work.
