Carol Tietsworth – Editor

I have been copyediting and proofreading for over 20 Years. When not working on other people's stuff, I read an average of 26 books a week

Overview

I am a trained proofreader and experienced copy-editor. I was a litigation paralegal in Family Law, with a heavy concentration on Domestic Violence matters. I also write- fiction and poetry.

Currently, I am in a rehab center recovering from a painful case of gangrene. The infection is gone. Now I am relearning how to walk.

I have my laptop, so I can work.
