Proofreading gives me an opportunity to read different forms of writing, which I love. I also get exposed to the latest research carried out worldwide. I love proofreading and editing anything on science, history, and philosophy, and I am experienced in APA, Harvard, and Chicago referencing.

Favorite book:

Mrs. Funnybones by Twinkle Khanna

Hobbies:

When I am not proofreading, I like to spend time with my family.

Editing tips:

The technique that has worked for me is taking a break in between read-throughs. Apart from this, I like to read a document first to get an idea of what the author is trying to convey.
