I work as a freelance copy editor and technical writer, part-time since retiring from my career in software development.
The ability to write well and clearly explain complex concepts has always been important to me for communicating ideas, strategies, plans, and technical aspects of projects. I offer a range of services for copy editing and expository writing (e.g., academic papers, technical documents). These include editing for grammar, punctuation, spelling, wordsmithing, and styling a document.
Additionally, I can assist with research, fact checking, or make suggestions to improve some written work. Whether you have a conceptual draft that needs development or a final manuscript that just needs checking or light editing, I will work with you to refine it as needed for your target audience.

Murray has been editing my work for years. Editing is an art. In order to edit a document properly, one must of course be mindful of spelling, grammar, sentence structure, readability, style, and content. Murray goes beyond this. He has the ability to intuit the original author’s intent and retain whatever makes the piece distinct. In this regard, Murray is indeed an artist. Furthermore, given his wide range of expertise in both the areas of the technical and the humanities, he can offer insights and suggestions that most others could not. I highly recommend him.
