Books, reading, language, and culture have been my interests since I was a child. As a student I studied and trained in folklore, languages, history, and culture. As an editor, I have applied my knowledge and background to the task of enhancing communication through the medium of the printed word, whether on paper or on screen. Helping others to communicate their ideas, emotions, thoughts and actions effectively and precisely is my goal.
I have been writing and editing for over forty years, in professional positions such as software documentation specialist and newspaper editor, and as a freelance editor working with many clients. I maintain a high-ranked profile on the Upwork freelance site. Currently (2022) most of my work is for Moose House Publications, a publisher in Nova Scotia, and for the Apache Software Foundation, one of the largest organizations developing and distributing free and open-source software.
