In addition to these experiences and other writing and editing services I offer, I have worked with several Web companies writing content for different Web pages - FAQ sections, sales sections, etc. I also worked with book author Chris Bettridge and her publishing company Cypress Street Publishing, writing the ad copy for the book’s promotional Web site and two sales letters for the book.
I pay extreme attention to detail, a trait that landed me on the panel for True Vol. 2 for Irene Dunlap, coauthor of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul books. As a member of the panel, I assessed the content of the stories, determining whether or not they fit the criteria for the anthology, and helped catch any grammatical mistakes that were missed during the initial editing process.
