Copy editor / proofreader

I have a B.A. in English and taught English at secondary school for four years in Auckland, New Zealand, followed by two years teaching English as a second language. My relevant work experience includes copy editing for Elsevier Science Publishers, the International Journal of Wellbeing, the New Zealand Blind Foundation, and the Aegis Trust. I did freelance transcription for about about 20 years. I have edited newsletters for several organizations. I am the secretary of an Auckland heritage and environmental group, for which I write numerous submissions, mostly to the local council, and also the secretary for a group of volunteers who provide services to homeless people. My training in technical writing focused on the editing of manuals, learning how to present information with clarity and succinctness.
