Audra Gorgiev’s Summary

I am a professional freelance editor (copy editing, substantive editing, and content editing) and proofreader available for short- or long-term freelance/contract projects.

I offer a wealth of experience editing a wide variety of written material (from advertising copy to manuscripts, newspaper and magazine publications, scientific and technical manuals, scholarly documents, and non-fiction work). Involvement within the scientific and financial industries have given me a higher comprehension level of complex documents in most any field. I strive for complete accuracy and the highest degree of professionalism in the work I complete, and utilize styles including Chicago, CP, AP, AMA, and APA manuals of style (and others) as appropriate. I am a former professional sporting a new title ("Mommy"), and successfully complete client projects remotely with a fully-equipped home office and broadband Internet connection.

My editing and proofreading skills extend across many industries and business needs--you could say that I am an 'editing savant'--and have always been the hidden accomplice behind any successful document. Grammar, punctuation, clarity, and formatting are my specialties, whatever the document may be; and I work electronically or with hard copy. I am a passionate perfectionist when it comes to a succinct, well-written and mistake-free document--that oh-so-important first impression. My time is very flexible and I am available six days a week; my computer is fired up at 9 a.m., and is on until 10:30 p.m. MST.

My rates vary with the complexity and turnaround time of the project, and are flexible as I strive to work within my clients' budgets.
