Since 2008, after working in-house at Marquand Books for nearly eight years as proofreader and editorial assistant, I've been copyediting/proofreading for book publishers, independent (dev edited) authors, content editors, magazines, marketing depts. at universities, and graphic design firms / ad agencies.

For this nationally acclaimed designer and producer of fine illustrated books, I proofread edits to rounds of page proofs to ensure consistency of editorial and typographic style; performed copyediting, focusing on spelling, punctuation, and grammar; cross-checked references and proofread indexes; entered edits in Adobe InDesign; prepared and cleaned up manuscripts in Microsoft Word per house style; applied for CIP data from the LoC; checked printers' proofs; worked closely and quickly with typesetters and designers

Ensured accuracy and typographic quality of final copy for this graphic design firm. Copyedited marketing proposals and various communications for internal departments. Office culture emphasized teamwork with designers, production artists, and print and account managers to realize tight deadlines

Later on, TLG became Fitch, for which I proofread on a contract/freelance basis.
