ABOUT ME...

Let me introduce myself...

Hello, I'm Holly.

My experience with words and grammar and my love of the English language started long ago within the pages of books. I was especially interested in fantasy and science fiction. I have a great memory of spending the entire summer before seventh grade reading A Wrinkle in Time, The White Mountains trilogy, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to my mother. We had just moved to another state, didn't know anyone, and sat through day after day of rainstorms. I will never forget that summer! Since then, my passion for words and language has never subsided.

I had an excellent English teacher in high school who furthered my love of grammar and writing. Because of her, in college, I excelled in advanced grammar, creative writing, technical writing, argumentative writing, revising, editing, and utilizing APA and MLA style guides. This experience led me to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in English/Writing Composition in 2006. My high school English teacher ignited a fire in me to continue my grammar journey and pursue an English degree.

That fire never extinguished even through different career paths. In the back of my mind, I always craved an opportunity to return to my roots. So, imagine my excitement when I stumbled across the Proofread Anywhere course. With my degree, language background, and an eagle eye for spotting mechanical errors in prose, it was a no-brainer. I enrolled in the Proofread Anywhere course in January 2024 and received a certificate of completion in May 2024.

Fast forward to today—I am proud to say that I am celebrating fifteen years of studying all aspects of grammar, the art of revising, various style guides, and proofreading. I have always been captivated by the power of well-crafted writing and the difference a well-placed comma or corrected typo can make. My extensive language study and proofreading course have equipped me with a solid understanding of language mechanics and an eye for detail.

My commitment is to provide top-notch proofreading services that enable you to achieve your communication goals and make a lasting impact. I aim to ensure that every document is refined, professional, and error-free, whether academic papers, blog posts, business documents, resumes, manuscripts, or other content. I thrive on catching those minor errors that others might overlook, ensuring that your writing is polished, clear, and professional. Ensuring that documents are free from grammar mistakes will provide relief and confidence in your work.

With my extensive history with language, passion for the written word and grammar rules, proofreading credential, eye for detail, and genuine enthusiasm for every project, I take pride in helping everyone—writers, students, and business professionals—polish their work and present their best selves through clear and error-free communication. I strive to deliver quality results that exceed expectations by offering a superior proofreading solution that meets your deadlines, saving you time and ensuring your work is of the highest quality.

I'd love the opportunity to help you make your words shine. If you're looking for a reliable proofreader eager to deliver polished work, I'm excited to support you on your writing journey. Let's work together!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Melody Dean, ID

“Recently, I needed help with a grievance letter. I was initially concerned about using a proofreading service and began researching potential businesses. After reading testimonials, I settled on HM Proofreading and received a prompt response from Holly.

What I found was Holly was thorough, comprehensive and gave great attention to the detail of the letter. She provided grammar and content suggestions as well as flagged corrections.

The results were beyond my expectations and I particularly liked how easy it was to understand the flagged errors in my content.

I would highly recommend Holly at HM Proofreading. She was very communicative and thorough and expedited the work quickly.”

Mary Mitchell, ID

“I recently requested HM Proofreading to proofread a college paper. It needed to be checked for spelling and grammatical errors. This paper was very important for my final grade. It needed to be easy to read and comprehend. HM Proofreading found the errors and offered suggestions on correction. My paper was much more readable and had a better flow. I appreciate that the corrections were recommendations, and the document is not changed. The changes are up to customer. I highly recommend Holly at HM Proofreading for anyone needing a second set of eyes. She really knows her English.”

—Mary

Julie Fretwell, ID

“After using HM Proofreading, I can definitely see the benefits. They did not go in and change what I had already done but noticed the errors and fixed things that I had missed due to looking over the same document myself over and over again. It is great to have a fresh set of eyes that has a more 'editing' perspective to look over my work.

I have a much cleaner, correct and consistent newsletter that I feel confident sharing with our membership. I did not feel judged or criticized about what I had created. The feedback was great since some of it was simple errors on my part. The rest were suggested edits to help make sure everything flowed and made sense.

I would highly recommend Holly for your proofreading needs for whatever you may need help with. She was very thorough and efficient.”

—Julie
