Melisa Rousseau

My extensive background as an Assistant Professor of English and spoken word artist has afforded me the opportunity to gain experience writing about a great variety of topics with consistency in content quality. Through the diversity of my work situations and life experiences, I have cultivated strengths which have enhanced qualities within me maintaining both the superiority of my written text, a knack for editing and proofreading, as well as the ability to meet specified deadlines. I am a compiler and researcher by nature and have an extraordinary capability to engage in myriad subject matters simultaneously to fit the project content and/or individual article needs. I can revise written material to meet the requirements of clients, publishers, directors, and/or producers while still maintaining my own personal style and high standards. I am proficient in writing fiction or nonfiction prose such as stories, biographies, articles, or memoirs. I have experience writing academic articles such as journal articles, conference presentations, and workshop curriculum. I am skilled in writing narratives for dramatic, lyrical, prose or poetry for publication or performance. I enjoy conducting research to obtain factual information. When focused research geared to locating as much authentic detail as I can find using primary and secondary sources for historical narratives, investigative journalism, genealogical research articles, and newspaper features is necessary, I will go above and beyond; I am meticulous. I will work remotely and am an amicable associate. I tend to think outside of the box, but I am flexible enough to adhere to the client’s vision for their project.
