Shirley Jobson │ Freelance Proofreader and Content Writer
Let me help you with all your writing requirements!
My Portfolio
Writing is something I have always enjoyed, and to this day, I jump at any opportunity to write, whether it is a short story, an article, or an essay for writing courses or online competitions.
In 2013, I took part in the Strickland Foundation Writing Competition on Human Rights, for which I won first prize. In July 2020, I embarked on a freelance career which includes proofreading and content writing for businesses, students, websites, and blogs. In October 2020, I published my collection of short stories. I am a regular features writer for Design & Décor magazine, and I also write my own blog posts for my business website.
Check out my portfolio for a variety of samples of my writing.
