I love to read and seem to find typos and mistakes everywhere. I have taken one proofreading class that I received a 90% grade for. The two questions I missed were fill in the blank; I didn't use the same word they used in the lesson although the meaning was the same. Even though I don’t have formal training I have four decades worth of real-world proofreading including but not limited to working for a small want ad newspaper and creating documents for a corporation to be used for customer and business contact (emails, form letters, etc.).  I am detail oriented and meticulous and strive to provide the best service in the least amount of time.
