Greetings, I am a graduate of the Bachelor of Journalism program at Ryerson University. Subsequent to my graduation, I have obtained extensive experience as a scrupulous proofreader and copy editor, possessing impeccable grammatical skills and an obsessive eye for syntactic detail. I am passionate about my work and am a relentless advocate of the appropriate usage of the English language. Over the course of five years, my services have been utilized by a wide array of businesses and can bring clarity and flawless wording to any document, while meeting the most esoteric of specifications. I specialize in proofreading fiction and nonfiction books, manuscripts, articles and miscellaneous documents. My proficiency in the usage of the English language is deeply rooted; I am a former champion of the Spelling Bee of Canada, particularly within the Greater Toronto Area. My thorough knowledge of literature has played an essential role in refining my usage of the English language. In addition, I am knowledgeable of Canadian and American grammatical standards. I am proficient in the use of the Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat, the Internet and e-mail. You can expect prompt and friendly communication, swift turnaround times (usually within one day) and a fierce dedication to quality, should you choose to work with me. I additionally excel in collaboration with other individuals. My computer is fully equipped with all essential software programs, including but not limited to Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word. I am available at any time and on any day. I charge $15 per hour; however, my fees are fully negotiable. Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. I look forward to working with you!
