History
The founder of Hamlin Professional Proofreading and Editing. Laurie has seen errors in print for since she was a child. Says errors seem to her to jump off of the page or screen.

Professional
Passionate about correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and writing. Exceptional with synonyms.

While not everything needs to be proofread by a professional (such as a shopping list), everything written to be shared should be.

Currently
Freelance editor, and proofreader using any of three different methods, depending on the client. The first method uses standard proofreading marks. The second uses text boxes with comments for those not familiar with the standard marks. The third method uses change tracking in Microsoft Word.

Writing personal stories about growing up with three brothers. Additionally, adding stories told by her parents.
