Favorite referencing style
APA is my favorite. I’ve had the most training in this referencing style to date.
Why I became an editor
My years spent studying (as well as my observations of day-to-day life) have constantly highlighted the need for effective communication. I have always been in a happy place when reading and writing. Proofreading gives me joy, knowing that I can help others to convey information in a clear and professional manner.
Background and experience
I’ve done proofreading for students in high school and tertiary institutions.
Why I love proofreading and editing
The process of writing may seem painful at times. I love being able to assist others in presenting their work well .
Favorite book:
Sold for a Farthing by Clare Kipps is my favorite book.
Hobbies:
I read for enjoyment, am teaching myself to play the piano accordion, should be practicing more yoga, spend quite a bit of time in my garden, and have the company of many animals.
Editing tips:
Always consider the style of the writing when proofreading.
