ABOUT

Hi! I'm Karly: a logophile, bookworm, crafter, gardener, farmwife, and mother of four. I've been obsessed with books for over twenty years and have dreamed of turning that passion into a career since childhood. I am thrilled to help you transform your writing into a mistake-free masterpiece!

freelance proofreader, about me
resumé

SKILLS & EXPERTISE

​​As an over-achiever in college with years of studying literature, writing, and linguistics, I have honed my skills at a technical level. 

​

Grading my peers' essays and other assignments as well as assisting professors with document preparation in two departments at Hastings College gave me hands-on experience with editing and proofreading.

​

Thorough attention to detail was required while preparing various legal documents with looming deadlines during my (nearly) nine years as a legal secretary. 

​

Over twenty years of book obsession has fueled my knowledge of spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and all the boring facets of writing that many simply don't have the time to learn about.
