I am a freelance proofreader looking for projects which will allow me to use and build upon my experience. I have my M.A. and B.A. in English Literature and numerous years of experience as a proofreader. I am hard-working, detail-oriented, and efficient. I have many years of experience working with school textbooks nationwide for all grades from first to college level. I am looking for projects which will allow me to telecommute while maintaining a high level of professionalism. I work well with deadlines--whether they are static or flexible. I working in the publishing world has caused me to be adaptable because I realize things change constantly and I am able to 'roll with the punches.'
I am not particular about which projects I work on--I enjoy a variety and I believe I am more than capable of handling whatever comes my way. I will work as hard as I can to ensure that whatever projects I work on will have an end result of the highest quality I am able to produce. I do not believe in overlooking things or simply waving things off as 'not important' because it is the details which make or break a project. I am excellent at following instructions/directions, but I am aware that sometimes circumstances call for last minute decision changes. I believe I will be an asset to any company or individual who would like the highest quality of work for their various documents.
