I am a freelance proofreader and editor who takes work from publishers, reviewing copy, identifying errors, noting changes that should be made, and making sure pages are spaced correctly.
My essential qualifications include English proficiency, knowledge of spelling and grammar, accuracy, attention to details, time management, and media and information literacy.
I use proofreading marks to note errors, inconsistencies, and queries on hard copy files using basic editing and comment functions in Adobe software to note errors, inconsistencies, and queries in electronic files. I make sure to coordinate with project managers to resolve immediate and basic queries, as well as to ensure that the proofing process remains on schedule and within the budgeted amount of time per project. Cross-reference first-round and second-round files to ensure all edits have been implemented correctly, with particular attention to any changes that may have occurred in the layout and formatting of the text.
You will get the content at a fair price and on time. I treat my clients with respect and always put them first the moment the we start working together.
Feedback from fellow editors on how to continuously improve proofreading and editing skills is important to me and I never fail to employ them.
