A comprehensive guide to copy-editing

I find great pleasure in indulging myself in fantasy and gothic/horror literature, which I first discovered at a young age through the captivating works of J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft. Interestingly, my love for the English language was kindled by my almost obsessive watching of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings as a child, from which I learnt to speak English. Over time, my interests expanded to encompass historical works, with a particular fascination for Arthurian Literature.

Aside from my literary pursuits, I occasionally embark on spontaneous long drives to coastal destinations. There, I find solace and tranquillity while watching the mesmerising sunset as I enjoy the company of a good book paired with the audiobook playing softly through my earphones, accompanied by the soothing sound of waves crashing. This unique experience allows me to fully immerse myself in the captivating worlds of both literature and nature, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment.
