Certified Proofreader Overview

Administrative (Justice, Reports, Investigative, Redaction); Scanned book comparisons; General stories; Social Media posts; etc.

The above interests are based on professional and personal experience and are not limited to just those niches. As a recent graduate in the area of proofreading, I also seek practice work. I would like to start with projects that are shorter by default and in need of proofreading.

About me: Currently, I am looking to do freelance work for around 10–20 hours per week—since I am employed full-time. In my work, I regularly go through reports for completion and style. Those reports are based on medical terminology. I do not correct medical terms, but have a great understanding of investigative work in the regulatory area where I come across all sorts of documents on a regular basis. Over the years, having seen errors, they are not always fixable at the time of me noticing them. Needless to say: that bothers me. It is one reason I want to offer my services in reviewing your work before you publish it.

Finally, I regularly review and update instructions/training for expert reviewers. There is no standstill in the world of experts' needs. Therefore, I prepare instructions for experts to experience a smooth process, and I keep receiving positive feedback on a regular basis.

In short, I would like to share my skills in proofreading and review information before it gets published. I have the patience and interest to review your written work with the end-user in mind.
