Schaefer Wordsmithing

About Mark Schaefer

I’m a professional wordsmith and a lifelong scholar of language. Throughout my career as an attorney, minister, teacher, and published author, language and its communicative power have been a central passion.

I am certified by the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors (IAPWE) as a writer and editor and am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association. I have edited everything from school essays to academic papers to book manuscripts for publishing.

I also provide résumé revision and drafting services. All résumé services are a flat fee based on the level of work experience:
