KLS Editing

As a linguistics major, and using my training as a librarian and as an administrative assistant, I have always been interested in language and the art of communication through writing.

With an emphasis on copy editing, I check text for grammar, syntax and spelling to make the writing understandable and professional.

Using my research skills, my expertise in Microsoft Word, Excel and Access, I enjoy fact-checking and the compilation and organization of information.

I also troubleshoot formatting challenges.

As an editor for the past 24 years, I have experience in editing a wide variety of materials.

My clients include real estate appraisal companies, U. S. and international students, a medical center, writers, and community and church organizations.

I have had editing experience with:

Master's theses/Ph.D. Dissertations
Real estate appraisals (narrative and form)
Fantasy novels and a memoir
Medical protocols and reviews, policies and procedures
Excel spreadsheets: text and formulas
Ad squares in marketing brochures for international truck manufacturer
Newsletters for professional, PTA and college organizations
Newspaper articles and voters' pamphlets

I also provide suggestions on rewording, create maps, and input graphics into Word documents.
