Hi! I'm a professional proofreader, editor, and writer with a Bachelor of Arts in Literatures in English and a concentration in Creative Writing. I'm interested in working with almost any form of writing—fictional manuscripts, nonfictional manuscripts, articles, academic essays and journals, and more. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and I have a lot of relevant experience through my education and my freelancing. I've also acted as a Beta reader, proofreader, and editor for published authors, working with manuscripts ranging from ~10k words to ~200k. I have experience with almost every genre, including fantasy, nonfiction, paranormal, romance, contemporary, historical, memoir, self-help, etc. Outside of editing and proofreading manuscripts, I've worked with academic materials—such as articles, journals, and essays—and I've also done social media posts and websites. In the end, I'm dedicated to assisting other writers with ensuring their work is of the best possible quality, whether that be with grammar and syntax or storytelling elements. I love assisting students and writers of all ages with their progress; I've tutored in English and have graded student work, both K-12 and college-level. I'm familiar with APA, Chicago, AP, and MLA style guides, and I can edit/proofread while adhering to their guidelines. Thank you for taking an interest in my profile! I hope to work together :)
