About me:
I'm female, born in 1955, and live in the U.S.
I have a degree in English and History from Duke University.
Among other things, I have been a professional editor for over 17 years, in New York City (1985–1992) and in San Francisco (1992–2001). Editing in all fields: journalism, nonfiction, textbooks, medical, legal, fact-checking, copyediting, proofreading, etc.
I started editing Wikipedia in mid 2006, and created an account in early 2007.
Invaluable resources for researchers:
On those sites you can find any book, and at the very cheapest prices.
