Why I became an editor

I have a degree in graphic design and have worked as a designer for many years. I've also worked as a substitute teacher, helping students with grammar and punctuation. My keen eye for detail, love of reading, and passion for helping others led me to my role as a proofreader.

Background and experience

As a graphic designer, I often proofread during the layout process. As a substitute teacher, I helped students with grammar and punctuation.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I often found myself noticing errors in published work. As a detail-oriented person, I take pride in the fact that my work is error-free.

Favorite book:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Hobbies:

When I'm not proofreading, I'm usually playing board games with my kids, hiking with my dog, or watching my favorite shows.

Editing tips:

I've found it useful to skim through the document first so that I understand the author's tone before I begin proofreading.
