My greatest talent is the ability to quickly read, comprehend, and process information presented in writing; I have been doing this independently since the age of 5. My experience with proofreading and editing includes fiction books, academic papers, and independent publications (e.g. e-books and educational materials from different individuals/businesses). I review the material for its presentation, which includes technical aspects such as sentence structure and use of punctuation; I then evaluate the clarity of content, and confirm that your message is conveyed using the best possible words. Mark Twain is attributed with having said the following: "The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning." I rarely enjoy anything more than establishing the "lightning factor" in a group of words, and it would be a delight to assist you with confirming the quality of your material.
