I am a stay-at-home parent with a passion for reading and the English language. What sets me apart? I'm not sure. I am patient, and have a great ability to understand what people are trying to express - even when they have a hard time doing so.<br /><br />I am not a formally trained proofreader, but I do have some experience informally. This has included editing university papers, resumes, and admittance application letters for post-graduate studies.<br /><br />Having grown up with a parent whose mother-tongue was not English, I find I am able to identify the peculiarities which can ofttimes occur during translation to English, and correct them without losing the tone or meaning of the affected work.<br /><br />
