Writing Experience
Editing and Proofreading Experience
As someone who enjoys proofreading and making notes with a red pen, my goal in proofreading is to highlight with arguments as to why it should be changed, often with recommendations.
With editing, my goal is to preserve the original tone, voice, and message with minimal inserts.
