Hi. I’m Caitlin, Your Proofreading Instructor.
Hi. I’m Caitlin, Your Proofreading Instructor.
I was at a low point in my life when I started my proofreading business. I had just been fired, and I didn’t know how I would even pay the bills.
But proofreading helped me turn things around. I gained newfound confidence and enthusiasm for life—and the positive momentum took me to new heights in my career, my relationships, and my sense of self-worth.
I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned that I want to share it with you. I hope it changes your life the way it changed mine.
Call Me Biased, but Proofreading is the Best Job in the World
Where else can you get all this in one high-pay, low-stress job?
