- How did you get started doing this type of work?
A voracious reader since childhood, writing has always come easily to me. Years of additional education in various writing styles, as well as the work of researching and editing seven years' worth of sermons, workshops, and classes, has only served to reinforce the sense that words and writing are among my closest companions. I adapted easily and eagerly to the digital world, writing blogs and crafting social media with an understanding that each platform deserves a slightly different approach. At the heart of all of it - technical writing, blogging, web content, social media, articles - is story. At the heart of me, is a storyteller.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Recently, I proofread a novel that is in line to move from e-publishing to actual book form. It was a joy to make my way through the story, making the minute corrections that allow readers to stay engrossed in the story itself, and not get sidelined by the occasional grammatical error. The author was particularly pleased with the turnaround time, and the attention to detail without altering his voice at all.
