    For the past nine years, I've been working on-line at Elance, oDesk (now called Upwork), Freelancer, Guru, and People Per Hour. I have a five-star rating on all five sites. I have passed the U.K. and the U.S. English grammar tests, proofreading tests, spelling tests, vocabulary tests, punctuation tests, and language tests. I have also passed the General Office skills test and the Microsoft Word 2010 test.

    You may search for me under the freelancers as luannet (this is all one word, lower case, no spaces).

    Proofreading
    I’m a skilled proofreader who checks every single punctuation mark, each individual character, and every word (to make sure the word is actually there, to make sure the correct word is used, to make sure it’s not an extra word, and, of course, to make sure the word is spelled correctly). I check for proper grammar, phraseology, and overall clarity. I check for consistency and ensure that the document reads smoothly.

    As a proofreader, I receive reviews like this:

    "I highly recommend working with Luanne. She is very professional and very meticulous in the work she does, which is exactly what you're looking for in a proofreader. I am extremely happy with the results and the overall experience. I will definitely be returning to have Luanne work on my next book!" —TylerChase, Elance

    "Luanne was SUPERB in every manner. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and knowledge of proofing a book were outstanding. She far exceeded all of my expectations of working with an eLancer. I will use her for all my editing and conversion needs and strongly recommend that you do too! (Except when I need her!)" — nickambrosinoauthor, Elance

    From 1998 to 2011, I was self-employed as the owner of a small business. I designed and built dollhouses and dollhouse accessories. I was responsible for all office functions including typing, forms creation, bookkeeping, purchasing, and invoicing. I created all the designs and forms using Microsoft Word and Picture Publisher.

    From 1979 to 1998, I was self-employed. I was a temporary office employee engaged as a proofreader, secretary, and word processing operator. I was employed by agencies and through clients of my own. My duties covered all aspects of secretarial and word processing including the training of other secretaries.

    From 1970 to 1979, I was a secretary at London Life Insurance. I was a sales staff secretary to nine salespeople. I was responsible for correspondence, policy applications, supplies, filing, bookkeeping, and policy owner inquiries. I trained new employees, and I was the back-up office manager.
