Why I became an editor
I was raised with English as a primary language, and I have always appreciated its fluidity. Slavic languages tend to be tightly structured and a bit dull. In my career, teaching in English has offered many more opportunities to enhance creativity.
Background and experience
Before beginning my teaching career, I worked as an editor for a major publishing house, and also as a content provider for various companies across Europe.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I like proofreading because the documents are like puzzles. I appreciate taking an original rough copy, combing it over carefully for any errors, and returning the document in perfect condition. I have improved very much over time, and I am enjoying it more and more.
Favorite book:
Stephen King’s The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger
Hobbies:
I spend most of my time with my children. I have a five and seven-year-old.
Editing tips:
I read through the document once in its entirety while highlighting problem areas, then again line-by-line correcting errors, and then I print out the document and review it a final time the next day.
