Deanne Grace

Freelance Copywriter, Proofreader, Administratrix Extraordinaire

United States of America

With a BA in English from the University of North Carolina, I have over 10 years of copywriting and proofreading experience with a variety of works accomplished, including newsletters, doctoral dissertations, web content, marketing and advertising campaigns, brand standard manuals, gaming rules and regulations, legal documents, training materials, company handbooks, architectural plans, and medical pamphlets.

In addition to an in-depth knowledge of both AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style, I have also written several style guides unique to the parameters outlined by specific companies and industries. As author of the first brand manuals for both MGM Resorts International and American Casino & Entertainment Properties, I take much pride in the fact that my publications are still used today by over 65,000 employees combined worldwide.

Immediately available to hit the ground running, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you for your consideration.

Better than best,
