Favorite referencing style

I don't have a favorite referencing style, but I have the most experience with APA.

Why I became an editor

I'm a nerd for learning and an even bigger nerd for detail.

Background and experience

I volunteer as a proofreader for Project Gutenberg.

Why I love proofreading and editing

Honestly, I just really enjoy making things right and correcting things that aren't. Being able to do it for long periods of the day with the added benefit of helping someone out seems like a genuinely amazing way to spend my time.

How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie is my favorite book.

I love walking, obsessively so. I also partake in both improvisational and stand-up comedy in the evenings.

Editing tips:

Find a font and style that suits you to read and makes finding errors as easy as possible. Just be sure to change it back and double-check for formatting errors if you do so!
