Proof/Edit Hi! I am Lori, and I am an MD in between practices. I have also been a writer/editor for over 25 years. I am a biography specialist, having helped over 100 others craft theirs (whether for hard-copy, screenplay, e-book as I can write in any format), and I am in the final stages of my own!!! I write, proof and edit everything from single paragraphs to long manuscripts. I am self-sufficient and a serious writer, hitting objectives with clarity. I am fast, never miss a deadline, and am totally proficient in English grammar, sentence structure, and syntax. My greatest skills are organization, seeing the big picture, and using chronology to perfection! Using these skills, I am able to help the most inexperienced writer read as seasoned as the most experienced, and the novice’s thoughts, verse, and wordplay roll right off the page. I look forward to talking to you! My Best, Lori Just an FYI- You will see bids from many of the team services. The Leader bids then outsources to a person in their team- usually with no contact with you. Beware of project numbers in the hundreds, high money figures, and lower completion rates. With my bid, you get ME, and you need to have an editor that is communicative and dedicated to your project.

I am an excellent writer, with lots of experience in proofreading, structuring and editing work. I have a BA in English from Cambridge, and MA/PhD in writing. I am a native speaker; a teacher of words, grammar and punctuation; a close and careful editor, and a swift re-writer. I have looked at your pages and have spotted some grammatical errors and areas of formatting that will require attention ... although I must add that the book looks wonderful! I look forward to working with you.
