Why I became an editor

I studied accounting and finance at university, which involved subjects like accounting, business and economics. While I was doing my dissertation, I realised I enjoyed researching and editing to produce well-written work.

So I took up proofreading, as it allowed me to continue reading, editing and helping others to improve their work.

Background and experience

I have trained at Knowadays and became a certified proofreader after passing their tests with distinction.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I love the process of making a piece of writing read smoothly and without errors. I enjoy proofreading anything on business, technology, entrepreneurship and finance. I have a lot of experience with Harvard referencing, having used it for my dissertation, and I'm also experienced in APA, Chicago and MLA.

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ by J.K. Rowling.

Hobbies:

When I'm not proofreading, I'm probably watching Netflix, playing sports or planning my next holiday.

Editing tips:

When proofreading, I first select the whole document and change the proofing language. I also keep a list of reminders, such as removing double spaces and using the correct quotation marks.
