Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I recently got back on Upwork and I am eager to get new projects started. Please note: I closed some very old projects, so the "most recent" reviews showing are all no feedback. You have to look beyond those to find ones with appropriate reviews.
I am very excited to provide my freelance editing on Upwork. I have a wide range of experience with beta reading, editing and proofreading of documents, novels, novellas, resumes, business reports and more. I mainly work with contemporary romance, dark romance, fantasy and mysteries. I have over 5 years of freelance experience. I DO NOT use any type of AI, ChatGPT, CoPilot or software to complete my work. Everything I do comes from my mind and the CMOS guidelines.
I am open to all kinds of projects and learning new ways to gain experience in proofreading and line editing. I have a wide range of life experience skills from book reading, biology, building maintenance, traveling, dragon boat racing, knitting, and dog mom. I have incredible work ethic, and I cannot leave a project finished without making it the best possible.
My whole life I have loved books! I have a personal library of over 1000 novels and texts. No, I have not read them all, but I love supporting authors I love. One day would like to own my very own bookstore! It is a big dream and that is why I am on Upwork. I want to gain as much experience working with books as I can in any type of way. I would like to eventually edit books as my main source of income and move away from the 9-5 life.
I have excellent skills with Word Doc, PowerPoint, and Excel. I am looking for new projects that I can use to build my resume and work experience in the proofreading and editing world.

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I am a full-time English and Creative Writing professor at a private college in Florida, part-time freelance editor, and writer in my free time. Although I stay busy, I am always looking for new ways to expand my skill sets and broaden my marketability here on Upwork. As a professor in my field, I am knowledgeable in both academic/research style writing, as well as creative writing. I have been editing and proofreading freelance for over six years now and am also well-versed in most areas of this kind of work.
Besides all that, I am married and have one son, who is a huge reason for my wanting to be the best person I can be. I also am biracial (Malaysian Chinese and American-Caucasian) and partially fluent in Mandarin, as I grew up in Malaysia.
Please message me if you are in need of a proofreader or editor who is willing, efficient, and capable. :)
