Favorite referencing style

APA is the style I am most familiar with (rightly so) and thus my favorite.

Why I became an editor

While I initially had more interest in creative writing, I quickly realized the potential for more practical writing. After some assistance from a friend, I entered into my first assignment with Amazon and quickly learned the basics of content writing online.

Over time I have absorbed as much marketing knowledge as I could through content writing, and hope to continue implementing some of this knowledge in future works.

Background and experience

I have spent two years creating content and editing for SageTree, which was contracted out to assist companies such as Amazon, Ebay, and more.

Why I love proofreading and editing

Being able to bring out the potential in a piece of writing is the most satisfying part of proofreading. Seeing the glimmer of greatness in a piece, particularly creative writing pieces, and bringing it to light is one of the great joys in this line of work.

Favorite book:

Brightly Burning by Mercedes Lackey - not a masterpiece amongst novels, but it holds a special place in my heart.

Hobbies:

I enjoy walking while listening to music, playing video games and tabletop games, and planning trips for the future.

Editing tips:

I like to read over the document a few times and understand the author. I want to ensure I maintain the author's tone and style and not just insert myself into the piece needlessly.
