Just a bit about me

I am a degree-level graduate in Business Management and have held several senior secretarial/PA positions throughout my career at a range of companies. I am now a self-employed proofreader. 

I am now a qualified proofreader and an Entry-level member of CIEP. I graduated with a diploma in Proofreading and editing from the College of Media and Publishing (CMP).
 

Why a change in career proofreading and copy editing?

Well...the mother of one of my very good friends is a budding author, upon reading her first published work I noticed several mistakes. This sparked my interest in proofreading and editing.
