Good morning,
Your posting for a copy editor caught my attention with a great deal of interest. As a versatile, professional writer, with considerable editing experience, I am the ideal candidate, and one who can offer you the most value.
I began writing professionally 15+ years ago, and specialize in technical, business and academic writing. In 2005, I went back to school, online, graduating with a 3.7GPA and degree in professional and technical writing. [For the record, I am also a CPRW.]
While in school, I did a substantial amount of editing other students papers. I meticulously read every line, and made detailed, scrupulous corrections, while my papers came back from editing, with meaningless comments, such as, "Good job!" Of course, I earned A's, as my editing was thorough and carefully done.
I have also edited manuscripts of fictional work, for a publishing company, and even though this isn't editing in the perceived way, I methodically reviewed application materials for insurance purposes, ensuring every "i" was dotted and "t" crossed.
I realize I'm competing against 40 bidders, with the odds not in my favor. I hope; however, you will notice how many bidders, claimed they could do this project in 3 or 7 days! Even the 21 I estimated, may be low, as it is a painstaking process when done right.
Since there is limited space here, I ask you to please contact me, for further discussion. I have much more to say.
Thank you kindly for your consideration.
Gen Caruso
