Introduction
I have two published fiction chapter books on the market. I have done copyediting and ghostwriting for many books by other authors. I am open-minded and will work on projects that deal with almost any subject. I am a very versatile writer. I have also written Statement of Work (SOW) for contractors, True crime, fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, and have obtained a CompTIA A+ certification, as well as a Project + certification. I even owned my own mobile computer and cellphone repair business and operated a fully-powered ambulance as my rolling office and workshop. When I talk about ghostwriting, I don’t mean I write about ghosts. Well, I do that too, as I have been a paranormal investigator since 2007. In this case, though, I refer to the addition of my ideas on bringing out character backstories; adding complete scenes to enhance the storyline; creating dialogue between characters where only a description of what the characters said to each other exists; and providing levity where appropriate. Copyediting includes proofreading for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and general flow of the manuscript, along with proper formatting using APA guidelines. I Do Not Use AI Bots For Any Of My Work. I decided to work with Thumbtack in hopes I would be able to copyedit more manuscripts. My focus is on quality; making sure there are no spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors as well as formatting the manuscript correctly and making your ideas flow as they should, all according to APA guidelines. You retain all the rights to your material. I am also a member of Toastmasters, writing and giving speeches twice a month.
