Editorial Musing by Dave Gardner (aka "EditorDave")

My passions include working with words--either as a writer, an editor, or teaching someone how to make their words work better. I accept editing, writing, and tutoring/coaching projects that help you to make your text work as effectively as possible. This blog is a place for me to rant on my experiences with editing, writing, and otherwise working with words.
