Good morning,
I am a former journalist and marketing specialist with more than fifteen years of experience writing, editing and proofreading. As a freelancer, I have edited the gamut of material, from academic papers to cookbooks, as well as an extensive range of genres, from non-fiction to contemporary and young adult fiction.
During my tenure at a large foodservice distributor, I worked closely with our corporate chef to translate his dishes into recipes that were easy for our customers to follow. This included consistent formatting, ensuring the ingredients matched the instructions and that the recipes were and that there were no typos or grammatical errors.
My peers and coworkers appreciate my candor and honest feedback in any given situation. The perfectionist in me ensures no problems slip under the radar. When one combines these qualities with the pure enjoyment I have in fixing grammar and punctuation issues, you will find that I am an editorial powerhouse.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like to see any examples of my editing. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Mariah Patterson
