Editor at Large: Specializing in the Written Word

Type of work
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a former Newspaper editor with nearly 40 years of experience (20 with the Los Angeles Times). I specialize in content and grammar. What I have discovered is that people tend to use 10 words, when 5 would suffice. I clean up, and condense, making their meaning clear and concise. I have worked on documents for hospitals, city planning and helped edit two books.

Gary proof-read a large document for our charter school. He was very meticulous and helped us turn in a perfect charter petition.
Gary met with me after he finished editing the petition and went over his corrections!

I worked alongside Gary for many years. He's a conscientious editor who is able to handle any kind of material without losing his attention to detail. He is particularly skilled at removing redundancies, making material more clear to the reader and delivering clean, concise copy, even under tight deadlines.

Gary is a superb editor. With over 30 years in newspaper editing, his attention to detail and understanding of the english language is excellent. In addition, his customer service and turn around time was fantastic. I felt like he worked with me and I would recommend him to anybody.

I am very impressed with Gary Rubin's timing in responding back to me. I still am waiting for him to revise my work and get back to me but this seems as if it is going to work out. I will get back to you when the project is fully complete.
