About Me!
My Background
Welcome to my corner of the literary world! I'm Mario, a passionate and dedicated freelance proofreader based in the picturesque Napa Valley. At 36, I've embarked on an exciting journey into the realm of freelancing, driven by my love for language and an insatiable appetite for the written word.
While I may be new to the world of freelancing, my enthusiasm for impeccable prose and commitment to excellence are unwavering. As an avid reader of fantasy and fiction books, I have immersed myself in the art of storytelling, appreciating the nuances of language that bring worlds and characters to life.
When I'm not poring over manuscripts, you'll likely find me cruising the open roads of Northern California on my trusty motorcycle. There's something liberating about the wind in my hair and the thrill of the journey—a sentiment I bring to my work as a proofreader. Life is an adventure, and each written piece is a unique exploration.
Why I got into proofreading
My motivations
I've been an avid reader almost as long as I can remember. During school, I was always striving to be the best when it came to spelling or grammar in my personal projects, as well as for any friends or family. Over the past few years, I've found myself submitting quite a few text typos, plot edits, and grammar mistakes through Amazon kindle when reading, and it wasn't until 2024 that I thought I would finally monetize my voracious reading appetite and penchant to spot gramatical errors. I'm just starting out, but very hopeful for the future, and I'll keep this updated for any major achievements.
