Why I love proofreading and editing
I love reading, but I hate when writing errors create a negative impression of what otherwise could be a wonderful piece of work. I enjoy helping authors refine and perfect their writing so that their intent is communicated effectively and eloquently.
Favorite book:
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
Hobbies:
I enjoy cooking and baking, as well as vacationing with my family. I'm also always in the middle of an organization project, such as cleaning out rooms, closets, cabinets, or even my computer!
Editing tips:
After I finish proofreading, I like to read the piece out loud before I return it to the author to make sure it reads clearly.
