Proofreading and Editing

I am a newly certified Proofreader. Over the past 15 years I have made a hobby out of proofreading and editing papers for friends and family, as well as assisting in writing speeches and creating presentations. I find so much fulfillment in helping people find the words to express themselves, that I decided to make a career of it so I can help an even wider range of people. I have an excellent understanding of spelling and grammar, and I pride myself on delivering quality work that enhances the author's voice.
