James Rives

I am a detail-oriented publications specialist with eight years of experience refining high-stakes government proposals and cost narratives. My proven ability to proofread complex content while upholding AP and house style has contributed to over $500 million in awarded contracts. I excel at coordinating remote teams under tight deadlines, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards of quality.

In my role at Chemonics International Inc., I oversaw the editorial workflow for cost proposals, ensuring compliance and brand alignment across government and donor RFPs. I managed SharePoint libraries for version control and mentored junior editors, fostering a collaborative environment that drives success. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to maintain satisfaction ratings above 75% while frequently beating delivery deadlines.

With a strong background in proofreading, copyediting, and proposal compliance, I am ready to apply my meticulous editing skills and collaborative mindset to strengthen The Ward Team’s deliverables and brand voice. I am passionate about elevating the quality of content and mentoring colleagues to achieve their best work.
