I would be remiss if I did not brag on myself from time to time.

So, what have I accomplished in the last year?

One really exciting thing I did this year was gain a new client, an accountant whose business website I edited to make the writing perfect. I was referred to him by a good friend and expanded my vocabulary with accounting terms while I edited. The best part was when the client told me, “On a scale of one to ten, your editing was an eleven.”

I recently completed the editing of the 2026 trade catalog for an outdoor furniture company. This company manufactures and sells teak benches, tables, chairs, and such for outdoor use, and the trade catalog I just finished is geared toward designers and those who are in charge of planning the outdoor scenery for universities, hospitals, museums, and other public places. In editing the trade catalog, I verified its text as well as hundreds of SKU numbers, dimensional drawings, and prices, striving for 100 percent accuracy and perfection.

For this same company, I also edited many prelive web pages for its site. These pages covered everything from the company’s privacy and security policies to its shipping and delivery information to a list of questions frequently asked by customers. In my editing for this company, I had a chance to use my skills with Adobe Acrobat, as well as continue with my Word skillset.

I am about to begin working on the company’s 2026 retail catalog, which is geared toward individual consumers and homeowners (this is furniture for their patios or the area around their swimming pools). I will be doing the same thing as I did for the trade catalog, minus verifying the dimensional drawings, which are not found in the retail catalog.

I am also looking forward to more scientific manuscripts, grants, theses, resumés, and cover letters coming my way. If you have one that needs editing, please message me or contact me through my website. I will strive to make it perfect!
