Favorite referencing style
This definitely has to be APA, simply because it's the style I’ve worked with the most.
Why I became an editor
Reading and editing have always been my forte. Proofreading allows me to do what I enjoy the most: reading and learning new things.
I particularly enjoy working on documents relating to social sciences, history, psychology, and economics.
Background and experience
I started my proofreading journey back in 2018. As I began to dedicate more time to it, I filled the post of copy editor at Rolodex Publishing House and NDP Publishing, both within the last year.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I love reading flawless content and want to do my bit to improve the written word. I especially enjoy proofreading and editing anything on history, politics, education, and psychology. I'm experienced in APA, Chicago, Harvard, and MLA referencing styles.
Favorite book:
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.
Hobbies:
When I'm not proofreading, you will most likely find me hanging out with friends and family or at a charity or orphanage.
Editing tips:
Compulsorily, we should always skim-read the document first to get a feel of the author's voice and remove obvious errors.
Always take mini-breaks at regular intervals; this helps to improve efficiency and accuracy.
