Personal Word Nerd

Personal Word Nerd After beginning my proofreading career in the financial services industry, I decided to make my way into the freelancing world as the Personal Word Nerd.

As a proofreader, I’m familiar working with several document styles, formatting requirements, and researching as necessary to get the job done right. As a writer, I understand your document or writing project is YOURS, and I always base my revisions on the author’s needs. I can quickly look for spelling and grammar errors in a story for a fiction workshop, leaving the story and characters as writt

en, or I can help identify areas to improve the story and further develop the characters at the author’s request. After working with numerous authors and document types in the academic and professional world, I readily adjust my proofreading goggles to suit the needs of the given project.

I know I've been off this page for a while, but I'm officially taking on my first big editing project in the fiction publishing world. Credit only at this point, but finally something I'm excited to start. Wish me luck, folks!

The first official editing sample is done, emailed, and all I can do now is wait.

Despite massive OT at my day job, I just received my first official freelancing gig! Time to get the office moved to our new place so I can start working.

I'm starting to get nervous/excited for proofreading workshop on Friday... Portfolio's almost done but I still have lots I'd like to do on my website (but I don't know if that will ever change *lol*).

It's official! I figured out how to make a FB page for my freelancing business (Personal Word Nerd). Check out my first attempt at a blog/website at www.personalwordnerd.com, and let me know if you can think of anything good to add. (It still needs a lot of work, but I had to start sharing some time *grin*.) Thanks for stopping by and help me save the page name with a Like :)
