About Jessica Last

My name is Jessica Last and I am a perfectionist. Admitting it is the first step, right? It can be a bit of an annoying trait at times. I correct people when they say \"me and you\" instead of \"you and I,\" or when they say \"I run good.\" I can\'t help but find every little spacing error or spelling mistake in everything I read. But this perfectionism has led me to a career. I\'ve been a writer and I\'ve been a proofreader, so I\'m well rounded in the field. I\'ve written for my college newspaper, a small town newspaper, and a big city Catholic newspaper. I\'ve been a copy editor for a celebrity news website and a proofreader for a shipping supplies company, an HR company, and several clients seeking help with their Master\'s degree thesis papers. I have the memory of an elephant, which proves useful when needing to know several style guides and manuals. I also have an eagle eye, and I can instantly spot an extra space in a sentence or a different font size on the page. To learn more about me, please feel free to contact me at j••••••••@gmail.com. Specialties: proofreading, copyediting, grammar, catalogs, Chicago Manual of Style, Associated Press, writing
