Writer/Editor
Hi! my name is Beth, and I live in Edmonton/Alberta/Canada.
I am a self-motivated and university-educated writer and editor with a passion for language and the power behind our words. I graduated with Distinction, made the Dean's List, and was awarded a scholarship for outstanding academic achievements.
With a bachelor's degree in communications and professional writing, I am skilled in most areas of the written word. My primary focus in university was technical writing and editing, but I love all forms of writing.
I've worked as the sole writer and editor for a multimillion-dollar software company, as part of a writing and editing team for a multibillion-dollar software company, a web marketing generalist for dozens of medical clinics worldwide, and as a freelancer working on a wide array of exciting projects.
These are a sampling of areas where I can flex my creative muscles and make an impact:
• research,
• web content,
• localization,
• self-help,
• installation, user, and training guides,
• API documentation,
• brochures, pamphlets, and newsletters,
• marketing and promotional material,
• internal and external corporate documents,
• resumes,
• recommendation letters,
• Google Business posts,
• biographies,
• blog posts,
• articles, and,
• editorials.
I am also skilled with SEO, Google Analytics, content management systems, HTML, most style guides, Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Creative Suite, specialized software programs, and social media.
In addition to writing, I am a proficient editor, which includes proofreading, copy editing, and substantive editing.
I am incredibly warm, friendly, flexible, and dedicated. It's rare–maybe unheard of!–that a new writing opportunity doesn't excite me. I love to learn, grow, and expand, both personally and professionally.
It should go without saying that making my client/employer happy is my top goal, but I'm saying it anyway....
