I'm a guy who, make no mistake about it, can't stand spelling (and other editorial-based) mistakes. I'm a writer and editor with more than 15 years of professional experience. I've co-authored a few books, covered a pair of Olympics and worked at multiple national publications. I get the most enjoyment and fulfillment not from writing but from copyediting and proofreading. Call me quirky! I guess it's because I have a strong attention to detail and commitment to excellence, and because I enjoy the opportunity to be a last line of defense, so to speak, before publication. I majored in journalism, with a concentration in editing, from the University of Florida. (GO GATORS!!!)
