Grace Allen

Based in Madison, Mississippi, I am a teacher-turned-proofreader with a love for the written language. I always have something to read, and now I also carry a red pen (or stylus). 

My teaching career has improved my already efficient and thorough nature. Since I’m used to reading and grading ninety essays in a week, I have the ability to be fast without compromising focus or accuracy. Trained to teach hundreds of students, I have a thorough knowledge of even the most obscure grammar rules and an understanding of when to break them.

Never able to turn off my keen eye, I find myself correcting spelling errors in restaurant menus and font changes in church bulletins. I can't stop myself from diagramming sentences in my head and making punny jokes that my husband doesn’t fully appreciate. 

Armed with an extensive knowledge of the English language and my red pen, I protect corporate, professional, and personal reputations one word at a time.

Excited to read anything, there is no document I am unwilling to turn my probing eye to, from Practical School Discipline–Applied Methods to Diseases of cattle, sheep, goats and swine.

I am comfortable working with a variety of drafts, whether you prefer hard copy or digital, red pen or stylus.
