writing apa editor mla editing format apa style mla proofreading service proofreaderKnown for her quick turnaround time and attention to detail, Melissa Simpson specializes in proofreading, copyediting, and APA and MLA styles. In addition to addressing issues of organization, grammar, usage, and style, Melissa has a knack for "tightening up" a document by making sure it is clear and concise. She can also format headings and page numbers and create tables of contents at a client's request and always double-checks that parenthetical references parallel the references/works cited section of a document. She is skilled at ensuring that documents not only comply with the APA or MLA style guides but also with a university-specific guide, if applicable.

Melissa's 10+ years of editing experience is based on a B.A. in English from Hendrix College, where she graduated summa cum laude with distinction, and an M.A. in English from Texas Woman's University. She has also worked as a technical writer and has taught various writing and literature courses on both the high school and college levels for over 15 years in both traditional and online classrooms. Her editing work includes numerous proposals, textbooks, dissertations, theses, academic papers, technical documents, and journal articles on a broad range of subjects, including education, psychology, nursing, business, government, speech pathology, literature, philosophy, economics, and art. She is skilled at meeting the needs of ESL students as well.

An accomplished writer herself, Melissa has published many articles and a biography of Southern author Flannery O'Connor. She is currently a community editor with Little Rock Family magazine, an award-winning magazine for families in central Arkansas.
