Favorite referencing style
I am most familiar with APA referencing.
Why I became an editor
As an author of novels for young adults, I feel passionate about the power of words to have a positive influence. I love to help people find ways to improve their self-expression. I also have a bizarre fondness for punctuation.
Background and experience
I have years of experience copywriting and copy editing for a charity as a volunteer.
I have also found great satisfaction in helping other novelists improve their work through writer's groups and see proofreading as an extension of that creative process.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I love to see sentences flow clearly and concisely across the page.
Favorite book:
‘A Wizard of Earthsea’ by Ursula Le Guin.
Hobbies:
I meditate, think deep thoughts, and write books that try to be fun and less pretentious than this sentence.
Editing tips:
I like to read a document aloud to see how well it flows. This makes any clumsy sentences stand out!
