With over 16 years of work experience, I am a proofreader with a passion for web development and publishing. I have a certificate in web development from Juno College of Technology and a certificate in publishing from Ryerson University. I enjoy applying my web development and editing skills to ensure the quality and consistency of digital and print products for Harlequin, a leading publisher of romance and women's fiction.As a proofreader at Harlequin, I work closely with the editorial, typesetting, and production art teams to edit and proofread manuscripts, ebooks, covers, and marketing material. I use various software tools, such as InDesign, Digital Editions, BBEdit, and Acrobat, to perform quality checks and edit code, formatting, spelling, grammar, cohesion, and continuity. I balance adherence to the in-house style guide with the author's desires, using keen judgment to allow for expression and voice while keeping the project clean and consistent with the expectations of the brand and the consumer.
