Andrea began her experience as a proofreader when she was employed by an educational book publishing company in the 1980's after graduating college. Before the days of desktop publishing and Microsoft Publisher, Andrea learned the ins and outs of the editorial process when a paste up artist and typesetter were involved. She got used to reading type and catching typos before a manuscript went to publication.

Although her career in publishing was not lengthy, Andrea perfected her writing ability through her professions in counselling, teaching, customer care, and marketing. Through practical applications she honed her skills in expository and persuasive writing. These skills became handy when Andrea began her content writing business.

As an editor in her business, Andrea has copyedited manuscripts for three clients of differing genres. She revised and proofread
texts for a family relational memoir, an instructional narrative on healthy living and an autobiography of
one's psychic journey to mediumship.

Specialties

Andrea particularly enjoyed her assignment in editing a book manuscript about psychic mediumship. In addition to her love for spirituality which sparked her enjoyment for the project, Andrea felt encouraged by her client's aspirations to start her own business as a medium. Andrea has discovered that in addition to freelance and content writing, she can also excel as a children's book author. Hence, Andrea is in the midst of writing a story to teach children about the ocean and the ecological perils it faces.

Interests

Andrea has always had a passion for creative writing. She enjoys writing short stories and screenplays. Currently, she is working on her first children's picture book about the ocean and ecology.

Other interests that Andrea has are healthy living, travel, and the arts.

She regularly practices yoga, aerobics, and strength-training. As a retiree, Andrea realizes how important it is to stay fit and healthy as she ages.

Andrea and her husband have traveled to many tropical islands and some European countries. Andrea enjoys the beach, mountains, and discovering different cultures. She lived in Switzerland with her husband for 6 months. While there, she kept a journal of the various places they visited, and experiences enjoyed.

When it comes to the arts, Andrea loves to be enmeshed in it. She enjoys the works of many artists, particularly impressionism. While confined during the early part of the pandemic, Andrea took up drawing with colored pencils and has not stopped since.

Andrea's choice in freelance writing projects reflects her interests since she loves to write on health topics, travel, and other topics of general self-improvement and inspiration. Her choices also reflect her desire to explore topics unknown to her. By engaging in research and writing blogs for different industries, Andrea feels good about broadening her knowledge of the world and helping many clients tell their stories.
