Hello, I'm Bobby Mike Jackson, and my journey in the world of words has been nothing short of a passionate odyssey. Hailing from the vibrant city of Chicago, I've always been captivated by the nuanced beauty of language.
My academic pursuits led me to the University of Illinois, where I delved into the rich tapestry of English Literature. Little did I know that this academic journey would sow the seeds for a fulfilling career in the realm of editing and proofreading.
In my mid-thirties, I made a conscious decision to transition from crafting my own narratives to refining the words of others. Becoming a proofreader and editor allowed me to combine my love for language with my innate attention to detail. I take pride in being that meticulous guardian who ensures every comma is in its place and each sentence flows seamlessly.
My approach to editing goes beyond mere correction; it's a collaborative dance with authors to enhance their work. Preserving the authenticity of their voices while elevating the overall clarity and coherence of the text is my mission.
Outside the realm of red pens and manuscripts, I'm deeply involved in the local literary community. Hosting workshops on the art of proofreading, I'm driven by a desire to share my insights and contribute to the growth of aspiring wordsmiths. My commitment extends to supporting independent authors, fostering a creative environment where words can thrive.
