Author and Proofreader

- Currently on a break - I am a proofreader - Last Word Proofreading - and author of sci-fi novels, noir thrillers, and short stories. I have plenty of experience proofreading work written by people speaking English as a second language and work translated into English, so I have become adept at knowing what kinds of specific mistakes to look for in these cases. I am happy to proofread almost anything, but my main experience is in fiction and non-fiction books, articles, websites, and some student papers. I am trained in proofreading to either US- or British-English, so just say which. I have been a 3D modeller, web designer, blogger, and had a brief stint in a computer game studio doing QA for one game and writing background and lore for another. As well as fiction, I currently write a handful of business articles a week for a regular client assisting startups in the UK.

Publications

Acts of Violence

Shadow Archer Publishing
Not entirely relevant to the proofreading, but it at least shows my experience with novels and creative writing. Acts of Violence is my third novel and is receiving predominantly very positive reviews. It is a noir thriller with sci-fi elements and can be found on Goodreads if you want to check the reviews. I particularly like the ones that compare it to Blade Runner and Gone Girl!
