When I look at a box of Trader Joe's Veggie Spring Rolls, I'm not testing the low-resolution photographs against my appetite or studying the ingredients for anything that sounds too sci-fi to be healthy. I'm reading the words. Why are there so many unnecessary commas and whose terrible idea was it to use the word "smooth" to describe the texture? Syntax, word-choice, tone. Later that evening, I'm crunching into a veggie roll with the sad awareness that the product description did the tasty, fried cylinders little justice.
While exceptional Trader Joe's discernment skills seem sufficient credential in themselves, I also received my M.A. in English from Azusa Pacific University. Thanks to outstanding time management skills and a disciplined work ethic, I completed the program in under a year while working two part-time jobs. I also graduated magna cum laude.
I'm the kind of guy who prepares the butter while the bread is toasting. Who listens to audiobooks at the gym and writes the next chapter of his novel while driving to work. I pride myself on my efficiency. When I get my hands on a project, I'm immediately strategizing the most effective ways to make it excel.
I'm continually running my projects through rounds of edits to ensure they're perfect before release (like the 8 separate drafts I wrote before tying the bow on my 100-page Master's Thesis). In my experience, most projects are only a few critical revisions away from being works of art.
To the ire of over 50 college seniors, I was brought in to make sure that their Senior Commencement Essays were up to par before graduation. Few people in existence have corrected as many comma errors, nor experienced such sublime satisfaction as watching students grow a writerly self-awareness.
I'd love to bring the same passion to your project. Also, if you're a writer of product descriptions for Trader Joe's, I have notebooks of ideas for you.
Outside the world of words, I like to spend my time hiking, surfing, and otherwise roaming Los Angeles.
