Proofreader and Research Writer

I am a secretary by trade. I have done typing work for 35 years, and proofreading and writing. English is my first language. I have been given editing permission on FAST Missions to edit blogs and classes. I have just completed uploading (data entry) Afrikaans classes on the website. I home schooled for ten years, checking English and Afrikaans lessons for grammar, spelling and sentence structure. I typed a newspaper for two years, and enjoyed that as well. I typed up a weekly bulletin for five years, researching for articles and images to make for an interesting read. For three years, I was a church clerk, doing minutes and reports. All this administrative work was done on Linux Mint Office. I reviewed television programmes for approximately one year, for a New Zealand television station, checking for sound and video quality. I have helped run, for two years, a small, private English school in South Africa, liazing with the Governmental bodies in the Education department.

Experience

Research Writing

Private Individual
May 2019 - Jun 2019 (1 month, 1 day)
I have just recently done some research and ghost writing for a client (my employer) based in the United Kingdom. Two clients employed my employer to commission ghost writers to put together a book for them, done from transcripts, writing their life story, as to how they achieved United Nations employment. These clients wished to show others how it can be done, to rise to the top of their fields, and also to give back to their countries for helping them achieve their present positions.

Proofreading

Private Individual
May 2019 - Jun 2019 (1 month, 1 day)
I have been working for an individual doing proofreading and research writing. I do a third of the book, and another person does the ghost writing section - the last two-thirds. We write on behalf of others whose first language is not English. We write for adults. These are people who have made a change in their country, and wish to share their experiences.

Transcription

Church Pastor Brian Sterley
Jan 2000 - Mar 2000 (2 months, 1 day)
I did transcript work for a pastor, transcribing sermons for him after a seminar. This was tricky work, as the sound quality was not the best. But he was pleased with the work. And so was I at the end. :-)

Education

2-Year Secretarial Course

South Africa 1983 - 1985
(2 years)

Qualifications

Wang computer course

Kelly Greenoaks Finishing School, Eloff Street, Johannesburg, South Africa - now closed.
1984
I completed a word processing course at the Kelly Greenoaks School in Johannesburg in 1984. This started my 35 year typing career working on a varied number of computers, from Wang, to IBM, to using the Corel WordPerfect package for typing up the newspaper to finance the school we ran for a number of years. Now I have the choice of using Linux LibreOffice or Windows Wordpad for my documents, and GIMP or Paint (Windows) programs for photographic work.

Publications

Orewa Church Bulletin, Auckland, New Zealand

Private publisher
Approximately sixty electronic copies were sent every week for five years to local readers, as well as to some abroad. It was a double-sided A4 bulletin with news and articles of interest. Digital graphics added to the nice appearance of the bulletins. You may examine the copies I have uploaded.

Grainland Granules

Southern Cape newspaper, South Africa, private publisher
Our family typed and printed (on a risograph) the monthly newspaper, Grainland Granules, to finance a small, country school in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Grainland Granules was a small A4 sized newspaper, of nine pages. It continued for two years under our guidance and efforts, and another two years with another dedicated group of volunteers. It consisted of interesting news and local advertisements which paid for the teacher's salary. It was hard work, but worth it. :-)
