David August<p>From what career consultants call a "portfolio career," I have 6 resumes: acting, teaching, writing, content strategy, production and admin. </p><p>Just put them together into 1 page for an application, and it's, dare I say it, kinda fancy in some ways.

Because I'm very, very part-time consulting at the moment, I'm also taking on copyediting/proofreading freelance jobs. 📖 🖋

I'm happy to look at any type of manuscript: blog-posts, technical writing, novels, you name it. I've got experience working with all sorts of writing, from adventure fiction to medical terminology. I am an expert at maintaining the flavor of a piece, be it the author's personal voice or an academic/encyclopedic tone.

I am available for contract directly, or through Upwork (not preferred, but I am on there). Send me a query! 🙂
