Proofreading requires a trained eye, which I possess. As a former journalist I was required to submit my own work at a high standard but also to oversee the work of other less experienced journalists. Having spent over 10 years working with some of the UK's most respected media organisations, including the BBC and ITV, as well as some PR and charitable agencies, I've decided to focus on my passion: How we communicate with words. My writing and editing experience spans diverse mediums, ranging from television and radio, idea development, proposals, pitches, tenders, case studies, research documents, press releases, straplines, internal and external communications, websites and blogs. I'm also an avid reader in my free time, and this all adds up to someone with a keen ability to spot and correct error as well as being able suggest improvements to vocabulary, should that be required. I'm currently trying to build a portfolio so would greatly appreciate an opportunity to showcase my skills.
