Amanda Horton

I have been infatuated with words for as long as I can remember. The fact that I attempted to write my first novel at only 8 years old substantiates this fact! My love of English has only grown over the years, so I have naturally developed a keen eye for spotting errors and weak writing. I cannot count the amount of times people have asked me to read and edit their essays, emails, letters, and other manuscripts. Only recently have I finally decided to pursue a career in this field - however, I have been doing this for years.
