Favorite referencing style

I don’t have a favorite referencing style.

Why I became an editor

In 2016, I found myself unemployed and began volunteering as an editor for a theater website to keep busy. I took to it instantly, as I had always been good at spotting errors in text, and I soon realized that it was a perfect career choice.

Background and experience

I’ve been volunteering as a proofreader for Humanists UK since December 2017. I worked for Safis Editing from January 2018–April 2020 as a proofreader of technology-related content, mainly written by ESL authors. I edited anthologies of poems and short stories written by secondary school students for First Story from March 2017–April 2019. And I edited around five 600-word reviews per month for Everything Theatre from September 2016–December 2017.

Why I love proofreading and editing

Quite simply, I love spotting errors in text.
