    I'm an editor based on the south coast of the United Kingdom. I use Word tools to make the editing process as effiicient and accurate as possible, and I'm hoping to share some of the tips and techniques I've picked up along the way. I'm an enthusiastic and grateful member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. Editorial freelancers benefit hugely from being part of supportive organizations:  for direct support for our work, such as training and providing routes for our clients to find us, but also for community, which is needed now more than ever.
