About Haydn J.

I’m an editor with an eye for detail and a desire to help others through writing. With BAs in English and Communications and an MA in Professional Writing, I have centered my professional career around the impact writing can have on a business’s success. I’ve leveraged the knowledge gained from two renowned publishing institutes to help companies even outside of the book world, establishing clear and consistent guidelines for technical/professional copywriting across departments. I have a strong work ethic and an intense drive to contribute to meaningful work, and I never shy away from a challenge.
