Genevieve DeGuzman - Freelancer

I'm a writer and editor passionate about innovation, business, social entrepreneurship, and education. I've worn a lot of hats over my professional career: Corporate. Nonprofit/NGO. Economics research. Editorial.

The one constant is that I've always been obsessed with the art and craft of communicating and illuminating complex ideas, whether in a working paper, report, article, or book. In 2010, I put on my entrepreneurial cap when I moved to San Francisco and co-founded Night Owls Press (www.nightowlspress.com), a small, independent press that publishes nonfiction books and provides editorial services to businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs.

I love telling the stories behind the data. I offer the double-edged, dual expertise of a research-oriented background (economics, statistics) combined with a knack for writing compelling prose.

SKILLS: Cross-cultural competency (lived and worked abroad for five years); analytical thinking (STATA programming skills, applying data to real-world problems); intellectual voracity (continuously learning and extremely focused); and heart (using knowledge and applying it to help others, collaboration)

EXPERTISE: developmental editing, content editing, copyediting, proofreading, book development, book coaching, print and e-book layout and design, statistical analysis, STATA
