When I read a book, I read it grammatically and for spelling. I catch so many errors when reading books, which I love to do on a daily basis. Rarely will you see me without a book in my hands. I have been doing Data Entry work for the last 4 years straight and have been working doing Secretarial jobs for the last 15 years. I love to read and would love to freelance as a proofreader. I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time on my hands to spend proofreading books for editors. I type faster than most people, I haven't taken a speed test in forever. I will provide a copy of my resume if asked.
