As a native US English speaker, I have spent the past fifteen years honing my professional proofreading skills and nurturing my love for the English language. To further my expertise, I recently completed an intensive Proofread Anywhere course, excelling in exams, tests, and essays. My experience covers a diverse range of projects, from construction to coffee companies. I collaborate with two teams, editing and proofreading contemporary romance novels each month. Additionally, I work on self-help books for teens, addressing topics from life skills to embracing faith. In my spare time, I volunteer for Distributed Proofreaders on Project Gutenberg, helping make out-of-print, public-domain books accessible to the public as e-books.
I am highly communicative and consistently make myself available to meet clients’ needs.

I am a London born freelance writer, proofreader and editor who has been writing for a significant number of years. I'm a native English speaker and have an intermediate command of Spanish speaking, writing and reading.
Having spent 10 years in the legal and insurance industries after having obtained a degree in Law, I began to work as a writer several years ago, beginning with fiction before also writing SEO web content which has been published on several US based websites. The various subjects I have written about shows my ability to research effectively.
As part of my fiction writing work, I also have experience in editing and proofreading the work of others. My employment experience has given me the ability to write and speak in a professional manner.
I continue to develop my knowledge and, besides the Upwork tests, I also completed the Cambridge English Language Assessment 'Exploring the World of English Language Teaching' in February 2017. I have taught English as a Second Language to students at all levels from all over the world since 2019.

The best part of editing and proofreading for me? I think it's fun!
Proofreading and editing were adjunct to all of my jobs in the business world for thirty years. And now, over the past ten years, I've had the opportunity to freelance proofread and edit projects as varied as business books to cookbooks to crime novels to studies in other forms of consciousness. I've been working with a lot of first-time authors and find that very rewarding as well.
As an author myself, I know the kind of dedication, creativity and doubts that we all have had to deal with in order to bring our works of art to fruition. But then there's the reticence to share it with a third-party professional, a whole new set of eyes, whom you hope and pray will assist you in framing and tweaking and polishing your art into something the whole world will appreciate. My goal is to do just that for you and still keep your voice, your magic, and your goals intact.
I recently moved to Nashville to teach young singer/songwriters how to be entertainers. I've written two books on the subject. I have self-published both books utilizing Amazon's Kindle format and print-on-demand. I've just updated the 38th version of my current book; I am forever editing and updating it, making it better.
I work out of my home in Nashville and I can be reached anytime between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. Central Time, seven days a week, which allows me to adjust to the schedules of my clients in all US time zones.
Reading, while spiffing up other people's writings as well as my own, are my passions.
Fun fact: I was my elementary school's spelling bee champion two years running!
