Putting the final polish on your excellent writing!
Putting the final polish on your excellent writing!
I am someone who loves to read. I help amazing science fiction, fantasy, and adventure authors, as well as craft bloggers, to make their content polished and refined by offering quality proofreading and copyediting services because I want your readers to have a smooth, enjoyable reading experience.
I am a part-time online freelance proofreader, born and raised in Alberta, Canada.
I retired from nursing in 2018 after working twenty eight years in Intensive Care, and eight years as a Primary Care Nurse (worked in a doctor's office where I monitored and taught clients with chronic diseases). It was a very fulfilling career, but it was time to make a change.
After retiring I realized it would be nice to supplement my income with something that I would enjoy doing. I love to read so I chose to become a proofreader. I chose it because it drives me crazy to see the misuse of words (there, their, they're), misspelled words, and other grammatical errors!
My goal is to proofread your fiction stories, books, blogs, and websites to perfect your project.
I use MS Word so that all corrections that I suggest are easy to see and you may decide whether to accept them or not.

When not working with clients, I enjoy reading (science fiction, fantasy, action), do multiple crafts (scrapbooking, card making, crochet, cross stitch, jewelry making, etc), going to movies, and spending time with family and friends.
Proofreading is done after editing and formatting are complete.
I would be checking for typos, misspellings, incorrect word usage, punctuation, and capitalization in compliance with your style guide to put that final polish on your excellent writing!
