Favorite referencing style

APA style is my favorite referencing style because it's the one I'm most familiar with.

Why I became an editor

Ever since I can remember, I've been an avid reader. Lord of the Rings was the first time I became interested in the actual process of proofreading. Working with an author's words and preserving their voice was an interesting concept that I wanted to explore.

About a year ago, I started the Knowadays course, and I quickly realized that this was what I wanted to do as a career. Being able to help elevate someone's writing while doing something I love has been a dream come true.

Background and experience

I have done beta reading for indie authors.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I love the satisfaction of going through a piece of writing line by line and cleaning it up. Seeing the difference I can make is a great feeling.
