Peiwen Lee
Anna Wilson
I've always loved reading and it's not uncommon to catch me with a book in my hand. I've also always loved finding errors in a book. Moreover, whether while in school or in the workplace, I'm typically the go-to person for proofreading a peer or colleague's work. I easily spot errors, such as misspellings and typos, and feel irked when reading a book or document with numerous mistakes. I even become annoyed when text messages have multiple spelling or grammatical errors! With a master's degree in psychology/counseling and experience in HR, administrative assistant, and customer experience roles, I've become proficient in proofreading various essays, documents, and manuals, as well as have experience using MLA and APA style. My keen attention to detail, conscientiousness, and perfectionistic mindset allow me to provide a quality work ethic you won't find anywhere else.
Benjamin Blackwell
As an English teacher turned editor, words have always been my happy place. From the day an older kid taught me to read on the school bus, I was destined to bury myself in tales of wizards, elves, and dragons. The spelling bee became my warrior's trial. Much of who I am today I owe to authors like Christopher Paolini, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Ted Dekker, T. A. Baron—the list goes on and on. So whether you're exploring a blended world of fantasy and reality—or you're creating an altogether new realm filled to the brim with fascinating and/or horrifying creatures—I'd love nothing more than to help you create more of the magic that shapes lives.

The author's style guide takes precedence. I am a Proofread Anywhere Graduate. I have finished training for copyediting through the Editorial Freelancers Association (EfA) and attended several creative writing classes.

Michael Jarnebro
From student to paralegal to writer to proofreader to copy editor. The first two I tucked into the experience cabinet, and the latter three I hone to this day. As a student, I majored in philosophy, political science, and international studies, so I was always writing formal academia; between that and being a paralegal, I was a taekwondo instructor, and I was always writing the correspondence and touching up on marketing for my grandmaster. As a paralegal, I wrote the opening reports and medical summaries of incoming cases. Since before all that, and now, I still write fiction (mostly) for fun (mostly). And, yes, I've been a copyeditor-proofreader for the past four years, and I love it.
