Title: Proofreader / Copy Editor

Certified Proofreader Overview

As your dedicated proofreader / copy editor, I specialize in catching those easy-to-overlook mistakes that can distract your audience and diminish your brand. With my professional training and a Master Proofreader Certificate, I’m committed to ensuring your written communication shines.

Here’s what sets me apart:

  • Top 1 Percent Graduate: I graduated in the top 1 percent from Proofread Anywhere's rigorous proofreading training program, demonstrating my commitment to excellence.
  • Teaching Expertise: For years, I’ve taught grammar, syntax, idioms, and academic writing to immigrants from diverse backgrounds. My ability to collaborate with writers from various countries ensures that your unique voice remains intact.
  • Technical Documentation: As a former software developer and later a manager of development teams, I have ample experience both reading and writing technical documentation. I understand the nuances of conveying complex information clearly and concisely.

I maintain consistency throughout your text by adhering to the style guide of your choice, whether it's a custom style sheet or one of the major style guides:

  • The Chicago Manual of Style
  • AP Stylebook
  • APA

As an expert user of various word processing applications--including Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, and Google Docs--I'm able to receive your manuscript in whatever form you have it. All of my suggested changes will be tracked so that you can decide to accept or reject each one of them. I never forget that this is your written work; you always have the last word.

Let’s connect and collaborate to make your writing shine!
