I am an adaptable freelance writer and editor with 14 years of remote work experience. I have contributed to companies such as Curated, Textbroker, OneSpace, NexTag, MerchantCircle, Quote.com, CopyPress, and Remilon.
I possess a strong sense of perfecting the text for optimal presentation while offering exceptional attention to detail. I enjoy polishing articles for individuals, allowing their voice and style to prevail. I am currently an editor for CopyPress where I edit blogs, articles, home pages, and product descriptions for a variety of clients, including auto dealerships, a financial comparison website, and Fortune 500 companies. I ensure accuracy and clarity in the content, request revisions when necessary, and correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, formatting, and style issues. I'm meticulous about adhering to the AP Stylebook and client style guides. I also provide constructive feedback to writers via Dante/CMS. Specific job duties include reading content, identifying errors, collaborating with writers, verifying facts, contacting writer sources, rewriting copy, creating page layouts, setting writing standards, checking if articles follow style guides, and suggesting changes.
My recent role as a full-time editor for Curated included editing content written by various Curated Experts with backgrounds in skiing, snowboarding, hiking, golfing, camping, fishing, cycling, tennis, and more. Overall, like at CopyPress, I edited for accuracy and clarity, while other responsibilities included confirming facts, minor rewriting, issuing revision requests, and correcting grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, formatting, and style issues. In addition, I supplied constructive feedback with the primary goal of helping writers sharpen their existing skills. I collaborated with Curated Experts via Google Docs or Slack during the editing process and ensured assignments were submitted by established deadlines. Additional duties included testing links, reviewing formatting, light rewriting when necessary, and applying client style requirements and AP Stylebook guidelines to assignments.
My collective background and expertise in editing a broad range of web content will positively impact your company. Combined with my outstanding editing skills and client commitment, I believe these are the assets businesses seek. I look forward to discussing my qualifications and skills with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Sarah Mitchell
