I have got both; I have been a proofreader in the book-editing field as a freelancer for four years and before that in the audio-to-text industry for 12 years .
I have done B.A. in English Literature obtaining Ninth rank in the University and have done a Diploma in Freelance Journalism by correspondence. I also have a short diploma in Medical Transcription.
I took up book/novel editing in 2013. As a freelancer, some of the books I have edited and helped publish are the following three books: The House of Shiva Yogi and Other Works by R. Aravinda Pai, Autumn Leaves by Indira Pai, and The Half-Man's Bride by R. Aravinda Pai. These books have been published as eBooks on Kindle, as well as print versions. The first two are short-story compilations and the last is a historical fantasy novel. These books are displayed below with links under the Portfolio section.
Book content I have edited include short story collections, tales about the supernatural, poems, fantasy, tragedy, children's books, travel, memoirs, autobiographical stories, and novels in the fiction category and a few non-fiction books.
I also have experience editing books by first-time authors and books written by people whose first language is not English. I make books completely flawless, reader/critique/review appropriate, and absolutely perfect before publication.
I have worked in various capacities in the allied-health medical records quality analysis field, namely as transcriber, editor, senior editor, and home-based direct audio-to-text converter over a period of more than 12 years.
As the proofreader/copy editor, I will make your copy ready for publication/posting. I will ensure that the text is accurate, easy to follow, fit for the purpose, and devoid of omissions, inconsistencies, or repetitions. I will spot and correct any ambiguities or anomalies. I will check that the book is complete and cohesive, and I will correct errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and usage.
As a result of my work, your final draft will be coherent, complete, concise, consistent, and credible.
