What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a proofreading/editorial role where I can review large volumes of submissions, collaborate with teams (including remote work), and help publish clear, engaging content.

I’m a proofreader and editor who helps publications sound confident, clear, and publication-ready. I’ve reviewed submissions for quarterly issues at The Adroit Journal, assessed 200+ poetry submissions at Chestnut Review, and proofread 30+ chapbook submissions for an annual contest.

In Nigeria, I served as an Editor at Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), where I researched and copyedited 500+ news stories, produced and monitored reports at the MCR for smooth airing, and worked with my news department to revise newspaper bulletins. I bring strong organization, communication, and time management to every editorial process.
