I'm a Digital Marketing professional based in Argentina, transitioning into the publishing industry. I'm currently completing the Professional Editing Program by Penguin Random House and hold a certificate in Professional Editorial Reading. I'm looking to take on beta reading and proofreading projects to build my editorial experience, bringing to each manuscript the analytical and communication skills I've developed over years in content strategy and marketing.
My marketing background means I read with an eye for clarity, audience fit, and how a story or message lands with real readers, which I'm now applying to manuscript evaluation and editorial feedback.
What I offer:
Beta reading with structured, detailed feedback
Proofreading in English and Spanish
Content and marketing support
I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about books and publishing.
