Favorite referencing style
APA is my favorite because it’s the one I have used the most.
Why I became an editor
I have a love for the written word with a keen eye for detail. Looking to improve my skills and expand on my knowledge, becoming a proofreader seemed like the perfect step into a world that fulfills not only this but has the scope to go anywhere. That’s what makes this job the most exciting!
Background and experience
I previously worked in a clerical position for the NHS providing support for the health visitor assistants. I have also worked, again in an administrative role, for an engineering manufacturer and supplier for the past eight years.
Why I love proofreading and editing
Proofreading allows me the opportunity to read what another person would like to tell the world, and I too can learn something from their writing. Knowing that I can help them convey, with as much clarity as possible, what it is they are trying to say and help them succeed in their writing only adds to my passion for proofreading.
Favorite book:
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is my favorite book.
Hobbies:
When I'm not proofreading, I like to read, walk, or bake.
Editing tips:
I always read a document through first to establish the tone of the document and understand what I’m about to proofread.
