Proofreader

My LinkedIn profile is: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lin-middleton-76a14515/

I have worked in the travel industry since 1982. In 2008, I moved from the UK to Spain where I continued working in the travel industry remotely. I am self-employed and freelance, so I am used to working on my own. Automation makes it easy to communicate by email, Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, etc. Communication and the ability to do the job are not a problem even though I am working remotely and across different time zones in some instances.

I am self-disciplined and can work to deadlines. My work is accurate, and I am an efficient and adaptable person.

In 2016/2017, I qualified as a proofreader with the College of Media and Publishing, London. It was initially a hobby because I was working full-time in the travel industry. Since then, I have proofread all books written by US author Charlene Raddon. She is an Amazon bestselling author. I also worked very closely with Charlene on some of her books assisting with character development and plot.

Due to the Covid pandemic and the drastic changes in the travel industry, I have been working freelance in this field to a greater extent and have been editing and proofreading books for Cobalt Fairy, a publishing house based in Greece and the UAE (historical romance novels between 60,000 and 80,000 words), and for a publishing house based in Florida as a basic editor/proofreader (memoirs of around 120,000 words). Since the end of June 2020, I have been working as a proofreader with Higgs Technologies on the Romance Fate team, proofreading chapters of their interactive games.
