Why I became an editor

I enjoy reading, and it’s rewarding to help make people's ideas, stories, and arguments stronger, more engaging, and read better.

Background and experience

I'm a science communicator working with children mostly, but I also write non-fiction books and write creatively. I have a degree in biomedical sciences (neuroscience) but have interests in many directions.

Why I love proofreading and editing

It's really rewarding to help others express their ideas clearly without the distraction of errors. I enjoy the feeling of confidence that proofreading and editing can give people in their own work.

Favorite book:

I love Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. The “what would happen if…” question that it's based on is fascinating.

Hobbies:

I lead science workshops. It's great fun!

Editing tips:

Reading the work aloud can really help, especially when you think something might be wrong but you aren't sure what.
