I am a certified teacher looking for side work.
As part of my education journey, I have taken many courses on things that help in the proofreading/editing department such as:
- Keyboarding/Document Formatting
- English Composition I and II (reading, analyzing, writing, and research)
- Creative Writing (one course, but a lot of personal, unpublished experience)
I love to read and have always been an avid reader. I also love to correct grammar and make suggestions on how to reword sentences. I do this both when I’m substitute teaching, and with some friends online. So while I’m not a professional editor, I feel I can do a similar job for less money. I can also give formatting feedback.
