Summary

As a fervent reader, I am constantly on the lookout for captivating new narratives. My goal is to apply my knowledge and skills to enhance the reading experience of others, fostering in them the same love and enthusiasm for reading that I possess.


My extensive experience as a proofreader for published works, including those of family and friends, has equipped me with the skills to provide consistent and accurate proofreading on time-sensitive projects. With a keen eye for detail, I focus on identifying grammatical errors and inconsistencies, thereby improving the flow and readability of written works without altering their tone or style.
