More about Kate

Hello and welcome!

I believe we all have that "thing" we were born to do. That "thing" we are good at that comes easily to us, but not to everyone. I believe that editing and proofreading is my "thing." I have enjoyed working with words for as long as I can remember.

Reviewing documents, fixing errors, and tweaking a word here or there is what I do best and what I love to do.

I specialize in editing and proofreading all types of documents (technical and non-technical) from reports to articles to dissertations to websites. I also specialize in writing "how-tos" like how-to manuals, procedures, and instructions.

My other passion is resume writing. I enjoy helping job seekers update and format their resume to look clean and polished.

I have more than 15 years of experience and offer high-quality editing and proofreading that comes with a quick turnaround at a reasonable rate. My educational background includes an undergrad degree in journalism and a graduate degree in technical communications. I am also currently a full-time communications specialist spending my days reading technical and non-technical documents, reports, and resumes.

Let me help you make your written project the best it can be!
