On May 1, 2019, due to my new firm’s internal issues, my job was terminated and I was “laid off”. That was that.
In my previous post, I shared what a wonderful firm I had landed in ~ I loved the people, interesting work and clients, a real find. I knew the company was experiencing woes that started about a year ago but hoped it would blow over and the Gods would allow me to work there ’til it was time for me to retire. Well …. that didn’t happen. And now, I’m unemployed again. It isn’t the first time I’ve thought about getting out of “legal” but it seems most employers not in legal believe that if they hire you, you’re going to bail as soon as you get an offer from a law firm. That is not always the case. In my case, it’s not true at all. I’ve contacted my old recruiters and am searching through the job-related websites. Wish me luck.

Thirty years of experience as a legal secretary, corporate paralegal and executive assistant have taught me to professionally proofread and edit legal documents of all kinds, complexities lengths and natures.
I am at a crossroad and have decided it is time to change careers from editing and proofing legal documents in favor of editing and proofing manuscripts, short stories, articles, media posts and blogs. To round out my expertise, I earned a copyediting certificate at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.
If you have a manuscript you'd like readied for independent publication OR submission to a named publishing house OR perhaps you have a short story (article) you'd like polished for submission to a magazine or writing contest, I hope you will contact me to perform a final run-through prior to submission.
