I am an avid reader and writer of literature, with a keen eye for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes which I take great pleasure in ironing out because I fully understand it requires a level of perfectionism to be truly a great writer. I'm your man.

Hello, I was excited to read your post for an editor of postmodern writing--I love avant-garde literature, as well as art and music. I have a keen appreciation for the absurd: favorite writers include DeLillo, Murakami, David Foster Wallace, and Italo Calvino--and I'm a fast and thorough reader and proofreader. I've spent hours in writing workshops (my minor was Creative Writing), and literature courses (my major was English Literature), so I know very well the care and craftsmanship that must contribute to a successful piece. Please consider me for your intriguing project! Do message me if you have any questions. Thanks, Joanna

Hello there! I am a native English speaker with an extensive background in writing, editing, and revising. Aside from editing for journals and newspapers, I was often asked to edit papers, stories and poetry for my fellow creative writing students. I am used to workshopping writing, but I am also used to editing for details in punctuation and grammar without changing content. I also love surrealism, absurdism, and the avant garde in writing, and I even have several collections of writing that fall into the surrealist style of writing. Working with you on your interesting book would be a lot of fun, I'm sure! I'm new to freelancer, so I don't have a lot of credit here, but I'm looking to make writing my career. I do have the experience, and I'd love to talk to you more about this project. Hopefully we can also work together in the future! Thanks for considering me, and have a great day!
