EARLIER WORK EXPERIENCE Prior to becoming part of the creative writing industry, I’ve worked at Old Mutual and Deloitte. My work often involved writing out minutes of meetings, changing sentence constructions as well as correcting spelling and grammar mistakes when editing reports, letters, and general correspondence to clients. As a freelance contractor later on, I also did extensive dictation typing from home in investigative and prosecution matters. In order to do this successfully whilst competing with other freelance contractors, I had to be able to work fast as well as meticulous whilst constantly having an excellent grasp of vocabulary, spelling, and punctuation.
