Favorite referencing style
Any style that uses footnotes rather than in-text citations. I like that footnotes allow for full referencing without interrupting the flow of the writing.
Why I became an editor
I love to read and write! I also like to give others feedback to help them improve their own writing, so I thought proofreading would be the perfect job for me.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I love finding and correcting mistakes, improving the flow and clarity of writing, and helping others become better writers. Although I am most experienced in art-related subjects, I like that proofreading gives me an opportunity to learn new things about a wide variety of topics.
Favorite book:
I love the Star Wars Legends books, especially the New Jedi Order series! I'm also interested in all forms of children's books—picture books, middle grade, and YA.
Hobbies:
I love to read, write, draw, paint, and roller skate!
Editing tips:
I find it helpful to print the document out and read it on paper during the final check, as sometimes this helps me spot errors that I missed on-screen.
