I do editing. And proofreading. Really well.
As Jarod Kintz opined, "There Are Two Typos of People in This World: Those Who Can Edit and Those Who Can't." Fortunately, I can.
I never met a word I didn't like. The value I add is that I am stellar at taking what others do—and making it better. It is my task to efficiently and effectively take it to the next level...finessing to ensure that what you or your organization present professionally is as polished as possible.
