Why I became an editor

I studied English and literature at university. Not only was I able to indulge myself in the world of books and imagination, but I also gained a true appreciation for language and genres. Having spent the last four years writing and editing creative texts, academic essays, and professional documents, working as a proofreader was the perfect next step. I have not only become a better writer, but this career path created an opportunity for me to learn new information and develop my worldview.

Background and experience

I worked as a short story writer and proofreader for an e-learning company, where my responsibilities involved creating educational materials for students. Having completed the proofreading course with Proofreading Academy, I have applied the technical skills I learned, coupled with my own experience, to venture into freelance proofreading and editing. I also edit social media and website content. My main priorities are always to ensure clarity and engagement for the target audiences.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I enjoy proofreading because I believe it is boundless: I can learn new information from a range of different topics, or be taken away to a new place through creative writing. I especially enjoy the arts and humanities, as well as the more hands-on form of editing involved when working with non-English writers. My passion is to help writers express themselves and share their knowledge, interests, and experiences with the world, and proofreading and editing allows me to do that.

Favorite book:

Maybe it's childhood nostalgia, but one of my favorites is Beauty by Robin McKinley, which is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast that includes some nice changes and twists.

Hobbies:

When not proofreading, I like to play sports and music. I've been playing netball since primary school and I was recently introduced to korfball, which I recommend to everyone that I meet.

Editing tips:

I like to read the document first, without editing. This helps me to get a feel for the type of document (e.g., academic, CV, creative), the author's voice, and what they are trying to say.
