<p>I have an undergraduate degree in English and two graduate degrees in Folklore, a discipline which is focused on culture and cultural processes and which straddles the line between the humanities and the social sciences. Besides the considerable writing and proofreading required for my degrees, I have published a paper and several book reviews in academic journals. My work experience includes copy-editing articles for an academic journal, proofreading large parts of an extensive website for a digital archives project, and producing lay summaries of academic work (i.e. academic abstracts in accessible language). I also, for a year and a half, served as the book review editor for the journal put out by the graduate students in the department where I completed my doctoral degree. As well, I have taught (and graded papers for) four sections of an undergraduate course. I read fiction (especially fantasy and science fiction) voraciously. I am familiar with several different style guides and am quite detail-oriented.</p>
