Favorite referencing style

I like APA, as it is widely used and easy to understand.

Why I became an editor

I innately enjoy reading, writing, and helping other people shine. I am also a stickler for rules and tend to be methodical in my work. Therefore, becoming an editor seemed like an ideal fit for me.

Background and experience

I am just breaking into professional proofreading and editing.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I enjoy improving written work and leaving helpful comments for authors. I get as much a thrill from helping to hone or coming across a great sentence as I do from listening to great music.
