Welcome: Quality Review of Electronic Documents and Materials

Welcome to e-editing.org where the focus is on a thorough quality review and quick turn around of electronic documents: e-learning modules, marketing materials, Web sites (specializing in pharmaceutical and corporate), educational curricula/lesson plans, academic theses and dissertations, and business papers. Please visit me or follow me on Linked In, Twitter, and Biznik.

Copy Editing and Proofreading: Focus on Final Quality Product

As an electronic-document copy editor for pharmaceutical, e-learning, business, education and academic clients, I access client style guides and client-preferred support materials and pore over deliverables for compliance of all quality assurance requirements: grammar, spelling, punctuation, format, graphics, links, and documentation. Editing ranges from developmental to substantive.  

Coaching Writing: Focus on Quality Message Development

As a 15-year veteran English teacher and administrator both at the high-school (PA Instructional I) and college levels with a master's plus 30 additional credit hours in graduate education, I’m trained in collaborative writing. Hand-in-hand with trainers, teachers, students, or designers, I partner with writers to “get out the message” regardless of content area. From brainstorming to writing, revising, and publishing, we write together until the message is exactly how you want it to appear to your target audience.

Academic Tutoring: Focus on Structure and Fundamentals

Whether you are a middle or high school student, master’s or doctoral degree candidate, I explain why and how to apply rules and conventions of expository or informational writing of essays and papers.

• Spelling, Grammar, Punctuation: How do you know when to use who or whom, a semicolon, or a comma? I provide mini-lessons as a great way to build your knowledge of grammar on an as-needed basis within your specific writing assignment. 
• Essays: How do you get started with an expository essay? Whether your task is to write a compare/contrast, narrative, argument, or other type of essay, I provide you with a writing scaffold or structure for essay organization, guide you through the writing process from developing a topic and thesis to adding supporting details and checking for essay conventions: grammar, word usage, coherence, mechanics, unity, focus, and organization.
• Research Papers: How do you apply the rules of research? The emphasis is on parenthetical documentation and bibliographic format in Modern Language Association (MLA), American Psychological Association (APA), or Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS).
• Lesson Plans and Curriculum Development: How do you know when students are successful? Curricula and lesson plans are developed for compliance with state and local-school standards, but the successful lesson plan shouldn’t be written for administrators and state legislators alone—it should be written for you and your students first and foremost. The emphasis is on observable, measurable goals, objectives, and successful outcomes both for you and the students.
