I am a recent college graduate looking to begin a career in editing, and have taken a particular interest in your company's services. 

As an avid student of English and Literature, I have developed a proficient understanding of the mechanical workings of the language. I have applied my dedication to the proper use of the English language in both academic and professional settings. I gained initial experience as a copyeditor for Cardinal Points Newspaper, and then honed my editing skills with the Saranac Review Literary Journal. Furthermore, I gained additional experience in proofreading with Genius Publishing, an independent publisher of fiction and nonfiction. Finally, with the consistent editing needs of my family and peers, I maintain a consistent outlet for applying my skills.

To my service of the language, I have brought an unwavering meticulous dedication. I know from student and professional feedback that my scrupulous editing style is not only helpful, but insightful. I am a detail-oriented individual who cannot but notice the numerous language errors that pervade common usage. My experience has granted me an instinctual ability to target the improper use of language, and has afforded me the confidence necessary to remedy it.
