From the get-go, Tara has provided outstanding freelance copyediting and proofreading services to APHA Press. She possesses all the requisite qualities of a first-rate scientific editor and freelancer: reliable, communicative, detail-oriented, courteous, and willing to learn all the ins-and-outs of a house style and to incorporate any ongoing feedback.
