I am a former English teacher with over 15 years of experience in public and private secondary classrooms. In other words, I have proofread and edited many papers! More than that, my years working with young writers have made me especially skilled at editing while retaining the author’s voice.

Currently I am working as a Cruising Editor for Waterway Guide Media, LLC. I contribute to their guides and apps by reviewing, fact checking, and editing the Navigation sections, which requires in-depth knowledge of marine navigation practices and resources. I established my business (GinaWorx, LLC) in October 2022 and am open for more opportunities.

Hello! I’m an experienced copyeditor and proofreader specializing in scholarly journals, textbooks, and trade publications, although I can edit and proofread just about anything, including concise marketing copy, lengthy aerospace technical manuals, company newsletters, blogs, and proposals. My scholarly journal and textbook specialties are education, nursing, astronomy, and biology. Previously, I worked in-house at a computer book publisher, at the headquarters of a national astronomy observatory, and in two scholarly journal editorial offices, all in a writing and editing capacity (when employed full time, I moonlighted as a freelancer). I’m responsive, friendly, and service oriented, and I’ll only correct your grammar, spelling, and usage on social media if you want me to. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and am available for on-site work in the metro area. Hobbies include playing the banjo badly, baking from a box, taking road trips, tropical fish keeping, writing (when I’m not editing), and thinking about all the other hobbies I should pursue. Thank you for viewing my profile, and I look forward to hearing from you.
