Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking a moment to read my proposal. I have an impeccable eye for detail, often catching grammatical and other minute details that other copy editors or proofreaders have passed over. My approach to proofreading is respectful and consistent, so you can be assured that any messaging or value propositions will remain intact while my minor edits will improve overall flow and readability. I am the final proofreader for Waldorf Publishing, having finalized twenty titles over the past year, and I am a professional translator, so I have great respect for words and understand the weight that any one word carries. I am also the lead US English proofreader for a UK-based quiz content company, SpeedQuizzing, copy editing a wide range of trivia content and grading those questions for the American audience.
Just for reference, my background is in linguistics, psychology, and non-profit program management. I hold a Master's degree in Spanish, was a former program director for an anti-hunger non-profit in NYC, and I currently make my living as a Spanish to US English translator, post-translation editor, and proofreader. I consider myself a creative, not necessarily in the formal sense, but I am a broad thinker who is able to link concepts and drill down to essentials, cutting away unnecessary language and honoring simplicity.
Kindly be in touch if you feel my qualifications match your needs.
Best regards,
Holly
