Amy Lane

Hi! I'm Amy, a full-time professional proofreader with over 3 years experience in editing, proofreading and ghostwriting. 

I am a graduate of College of Charleston (Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Minors in Communications and Sociology). Currently, I am pursuing a certification from New York University in Copyediting, Proofreading and Fact-Checking. 

Prior to my freelance career, I spent two-and-a-half years as a recruiter and drafted copy to pitch candidate skills to potential clients. Within two years, I averaged placement of 1,500 employees which required resume editing and summation of skills within a ten-sentence skill pitch. This experience allows me to improve the clarity of professional experience as well as high quality communication to potential employers. 

Telling a story in an intriguing, concise way, without mistakes, is crucial to those seeking employment. 

I offer my enthusiasm, focus and honesty along with my diverse skill set. I edit with Microsoft Track Changes and Google Drive Suggestion Tool, so you can follow my edits easily. I am familiar with MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) reference guidelines.

In addition, I take special interest in baking or culinary arts, nature, wellness, holistic living, nutrition, animals and second-hand shopping. Therefore, I have a special interest in editing work pertaining to these topics!

Additional skills include:

• Email & scheduling management

• Google Calendar/Appointment reminders

• Dropbox and Google Drive organization

• Attend virtual meetings to take notes on an as needed basis

• Manage expense reports, estimate costs, and process reimbursements with zero errors

• Complete email marketing, editorial assistance, ghost writing and internet research

I would be honored to work with you! 

Hoping to connect and with gratitude,

Amy
