I run my own freelance editing company, NiblettFreelance, and hold an Applied Bachelor's Degree in Professional Writing from MacEwan University. I'm skilled in the areas of grammar, mechanics, and spelling, and am comfortable using a style guide during my work and switching between American and Canadian spelling. I'm an excellent proofreader and capable of working quickly and to a deadline. I have professionally edited thesis papers, reference lists, business letters, resumes, and cover letters. Through peer and class groups, I have edited fiction and creative nonfiction.
