I have been proofreading in various areas for the past few years, including a novel of fiction, a book of poetry, legal documents and advertising copy. My most important attribute would be my eye for detail, as spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors seem to almost jump from the page. It's important to me to maintain a quick turnaround time for my clients, and also to be flexible to adjust my schedule to suit my client's needs. I'm very dependable, hard-working and reliable. I use Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat software.
