Five years experience in editing and proofreading.
More than ten years professional experience in creative and magazine writing - I believe that excellent writing skills, first and foremost, provide one the solid foundation needed to be top a proofreader and editor.
Top qualities:
- Deadline-oriented
- Flexible
- Meticulous
- Listens well
- Follows instructions to the letter
- Has an easygoing manner, but is always dead serious when it comes to work
- Thrives in challenges
Some of my other skills and interests:
- Pop culture and literature (and I believe avid readers have a significant edge over others when they become professional writers, proofreaders, and editors)
- Creative and travel-writing, the piano, and Victorian literature
- Current American TV series and mixed media
- Excellent written and spoken English skills
- Familiarity with the Associated Press Style Guide, quick adaptation to
client-specified preferred formats and spellings.
- Took a short course on makeup artistry (practices on a freelance basis)
Past professions:
- Transcriber
- Marketing staff of an export company
- Scriptwriter for a TV show
- Travel writer
If you value those who pay attention to detail and can listen to and follow your instructions with minimal to zero hassle, then I am definitely the proofreader/editor for you!
