HIGHLIGHTS
Included below are samples of my work that reflect my ability to write and edit in a number of different genres. Together, they provide a cohesive view of my skillset and serve as an example of the many ways I can contribute to the success of your organization or project.

FICTION LINE EDIT: Rough Manuscript Draft
December, 2020
I edited three chapters of a rough, unedited fiction manuscript. The edits suggested are intended to produce a refined second draft, which would continue in the editing process for further polishing.
​
While this project was completed in college, I've since edited dozens of novels in my career.

(This project was completed as part of a course, so my instructor's feedback is also visible.)

BUSINESS BLOG: (swah-rey)
August, 2020
This is the introductory post for (swah-rey)'s business blog. (swah-rey) was a local dessert bar in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I wrote this blog with the goal of search engine optimization to attract more visitors to the company's website. This blog shows my ability to entice consumers with my writing, drawing them to both the website and physical stores. It also shows my dedication to the company that helped me get my start in Florida, and I feel a similar sense of loyalty to all of the organizations and people I work with.
​
(swah-rey) has since gone out of business, so this is a copy of the article from my personal records.
