Favorite book:

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay

Hobbies:

In my spare time, I love taking photos, editing photos using Photoshop, and creating photo books, as well as playing the bagpipes! When I can afford it, I love to travel and discover new places!

Editing tips:

My method is very simple. I carefully work through the document, marking changes or queries as I go, and then read the whole document to get a sense of the amended work and make further changes if necessary.
