Overview

I recently finished my master's degree in English literature. Before I began my master's course, I worked at a publishing company in New York City as an assistant editor for two years. I love reading anything and everything, and an extensive knowledge of English grammar (both British and American) along with an innate ability to notice the smallest errors has made proofreading and copyediting extremely easy and enjoyable for me.
