Project details

I will edit and proofread your loved one's obituary to ensure that it is free from double words and typos and free from grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. I have recently started Curious Koi Proofreading and provide copy-editing and proofreading services to businesses and individuals. I have completed the Editing Certificate program at Simon Fraser University and am working toward becoming a Certified Coy Editor through Editors Canada. Obituaries are of special interest to me. It breaks my heart to read an obituary littered with mechanical errors that will forever be part of a loved one's final tribute. A life well lived deserves a meaningful, error-free remembrance.

Calgary, Canada - 5:15 am local time
Proper use of the English language is the key to effective communication, and I apply this principle daily—even in my personal emails and texts. After completing my undergraduate degree in applied mathematics, I worked in the insurance industry for the next 15 years and discovered my knack for spotting errors in policy wordings. I have recently completed the Editing Certificate program at Simon Fraser University and am working toward becoming a Certified Proofreader and a Certified Copy Editor through Editors Canada.

In October 2020, I started Curious Koi Proofreading and have been providing general proofreading and copy editing services to anyone who writes for an English audience. A well-written, properly punctuated document can significantly enhance your professional image. Don’t let embarrassing typos and misused words negatively impact your credibility. I will check your documents and other written content for double words, improper grammar, misused words, punctuation errors, incorrect spelling (including spelling inconsistencies), and typos.

In addition to my freelance work through Curious Koi Proofreading, I work for Proofed Inc. In this role, I edit the course material and course templates for a client that creates executive education and other online courses on behalf of world-class universities. I also review other editors' work and provide feedback to the editors before the documents are returned to the client.

Whatever the nature of your work, let me be your second set of eyes!
