[Testimonial] Five-star review on Elance/Upwork -- hire me! ;-)
Five-star review for a job I completed on Elance/Upwork:
Feedback Comments:
“Beverly delivered a beautifully written text with exactly the content and tone that I had asked for. I had not given her a word count to hit, and she delivered more text than I was expecting, yet none of what she had written was repetitive or generic in the slightest; all of it was substantial and interesting. She fully engaged with the job, and I couldn't be happier with her work.”

TODAY: Celebrating my 18-year anniversary as a FT freelance writer, copy editor, and writing instructor
Eighteen years ago, I quit my traditional job at the City of Enid (Oklahoma) to become a professional freelance writer, copy editor, and writing instructor. It's been an interesting ride, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
My first book editing client was Howie Olsen, who was then living in Salem, MA. We still keep in touch.

Freelancing for nearly eighteen years -- already?
Just realized that, in three weeks, I will celebrate 18 (yes, that's EIGHTEEN) years as a freelance writer, editor, and writing instructor. In May 1997, I left my job in municipal government, where I worked in utility billing AND the police department, to set out on my own.
One of the best perks of freelancing is that I am able to set my own schedule. That made it easy for me to attend my kids' school and extracurricular events. BIG plus. I think it made a difference in their lives (at least I hope it did).
It has NOT been easy. I wouldn't recommend it for most people, in fact. However, it's been rewarding, surprising, and unpredictable (in good ways and bad -- but mostly good!)
Hardest job you'll ever love, methinks. Where does the time go?!
