Editing Samples
Technical Memorandum
In this assignment, I provided line edits for a technical memorandum on the Colorado Works Leavers Survey. The purpose of this document was to summarize reasons individuals have left Colorado Works for county human services directors. This called for rules-based copyediting. Edits provided focused on punctuation, spelling, capitalization, numbers, hyphens, abbreviations, and grammar and usage.​

Research Article
In this assignment, I provided line edits for a research article. The purpose of this paper was to address the role of written public rhetoric in vaccine decision-making. This edit focused on effective querying while performing copyediting and light substantive editing. In it, I assessed the paper for organization, consistent headers, gaps in logic, and overall completeness. I also edited for grammar, spelling, capitalization, punctuation, etc.
Technical Report
In this assignment, I performed a substantive edit of portions of a technical report. The purpose of this report was to address the current labor market and the opportunities this market presents for the growth of workers and employers. Edits included line edits but also provided suggestions for organization, inclusion of data visualization, and identified potential gaps in logic and internal inconsistencies.
