What I'm looking for
I’m a current Editor at BRIGHTLY EDITING SERVICES, where I edit and polish manuscripts for independent authors, with a focus on romance. I bring a client-first mindset, staying adaptable and resourceful while helping authors turn their ideas into polished, readable work.
My background also includes roles like Claims Assessor and Accountant, strengthening my attention to documentation, accuracy, and clear communication with people under pressure. I’ve further developed research and information-handling skills through my Archivist Intern experience, including overhauling archives, verifying collections, and organizing records with care and structure.
