While this is an entirely new career path for me, I know deep down I’ve always been a grammar nerd. Before receiving my certificate, I was working as a promotional model. It always seemed that finding errors in written communication and digital content was second nature to me. Yes, I’m the type who proofreads my own texts and I’m a former spelling bee participant. My background may not be traditional, but I am highly-motivated with a passion for perfect syntax. I just want to make the world a better place one properly-placed comma at a time.

Editing looks at the overall goal of the writer’s work and evaluates whether the work is in alignment with them. Some key areas are: clarity, cohesiveness, continuity, content, and voice.
Since the editing process may require some rewrites, proofreading is done in the final stages of preparation prior to production.
Proofreading focuses on the nitty-gritty details of proper language use and layout, but doesn’t question the overall message or intent. Key areas of proofreading are: punctuation, grammar, spelling, formatting, indexing, and references.
