Portfolio
Since 2023, I’ve provided proofreading and in-depth reader feedback for advance copies of independently published books.
I focus on grammar, punctuation, consistency, and clarity to help authors refine their manuscripts before launch. This work allows me to support writers in strengthening their voice while preparing their stories for public release.
Beginning in 2025, I’ve volunteered as a proofreader for Project Gutenberg, helping preserve public domain literature by reviewing digitized texts for typographical errors, formatting issues, and overall accuracy. My contributions ensure that classic works remain accessible and true to their original form for modern readers.
I began working with Distributed Proofreaders in 2025, collaborating with a global network to proofread public domain texts line by line. This work supports Project Gutenberg’s mission of producing clean, high-quality digital editions. I help ensure accuracy, consistency, and formatting integrity throughout each project.
Since joining the EFA in 2025, I’ve participated in continuing education, professional networking, and resource sharing with fellow editorial professionals. Membership in this respected organization supports my commitment to industry best practices and keeps me current with evolving trends in proofreading and editing.
Since 2025, I’ve contributed to the Internet Archive’s mission by providing editorial review and quality control on digitized materials. I review scanned texts for clarity, formatting, and consistency—helping preserve rare and historical documents and making them more accessible to readers and researchers around the world.
In 2025, I completed comprehensive training in both general and legal transcript proofreading through Proofread Anywhere. The program strengthened my skills in grammar, punctuation, formatting, and transcript protocol—equipping me to deliver high-quality, detail-driven work across a range of professional documents.
Also in 2025, I completed professional development courses in grammar, editing, and writing clarity through the University of Cambridge (via Udemy). These courses deepened my understanding of English language mechanics and enhanced my ability to edit with structure, precision, and purpose.
