Logophile. That is how I define myself. I have been a proofreader at the local newspaper here in sunny SA for the past seven years. Not only do I fine-tune the grammar and language use, but also often translate articles from English to Afrikaans and vice versa. I have been writing since I can remember, and when given the opportunity have written for various platforms. Topics ranged from travel, medical aid cover, profiles, you name it. I immerse myself in my writing and the subjects it covers. I am thorough and believe that research is imperative. The Oxford Dictionary is my lifeblood.
